    I wrote a batch script to get this working, for those who don't have it working already:

    Code:
    @echo off
    setlocal
    
    rem Check for admin privileges
    net session >nul 2>&1
    if %ERRORLEVEL% NEQ 0 (
        echo Error: This script requires administrator privileges.
        echo Please right-click the script and select "Run as administrator".
        echo Press any key or CTRL+C to exit...
        pause > nul
        goto :EOF
    )
    
    echo ================================================
    echo WARNING: SECURITY NOTICE
    echo ================================================
    echo The Indeo codec is an older video codec that has known security
    echo vulnerabilities. Microsoft has removed native support in newer

    echo.
    echo Only install this codec if you accept this risk.
    echo.
    echo Press any key to continue or CTRL+C to cancel...
    pause > nul
    
    echo Checking system for Indeo video codec components...
    
    rem Check if SysWOW64 directory exists
    if not exist "%SystemRoot%\SysWOW64" (

        echo Press any key or CTRL+C to exit...
        pause > nul
        goto :EOF
    )
    
    rem Check if regsvr32 exists
    if not exist "%SystemRoot%\System32\regsvr32.exe" (
        if not exist "%SystemRoot%\SysWOW64\regsvr32.exe" (
            echo Error: regsvr32 utility not found.
            if exist "%SystemRoot%\SysWOW64\ir50_32.dll" (
                echo The Indeo codec DLL file ir50_32.dll is present, but cannot be registered.

            ) else (
                echo The Indeo codec DLL file ir50_32.dll is also missing.
            )
            echo Press any key or CTRL+C to exit...
            pause > nul
            goto :EOF

        echo Possible issues:

        pause > nul
        exit /b %ERRORLEVEL%

    echo Done. Press any button to continue.
    
    pause > nul
    exit /b %ERRORLEVEL%
    
    exit /b 0​
    Paste that code into a file called video.bat and then right-click and run it as administrator. It will register the DLL for you if it exists on your system. I would upload video.bat myself, but it was (rightfully) blocked.

    I also got it to work by installing the K-Lite codecs (by installing the K-Lite player). I'm using the GOG version which by default has no in-game wonder movies or game music, but I fixed all that with the K-Lite player as per this thread on GOG here:

    Download the best games on Windows & Mac. A vast selection of titles, DRM-free, with free goodies, and lots of pure customer love.

    Thank you for this extremely valuable tip.
    This guide helps me after every Windows update.

    Only note: on Windows 10 you have to do this in the Windows Power Shell (Administrator).

    No videos at all in game

    So i installed Indeo® 3.2, 4.5, and 5.11 Codecs and Support Files developer version, newest directx 9.0c 2010, microsoft visual c+ redistributable from 2005 to 2015 for x60 and x64 bit versions ( 2005, 2008 9.2/9.3, 2010, 2012,2013, 2015 ).
    I can play the movies in my windows media player and they play flawlessly.
    But i cannot see them in game.
    I have no idea if i should do something else.
    Any info would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Sew
