gstreamer for its codecs, so you'll want to make sure you have the
appropriate ones installed. I'm not sure if it handles indeo or
not,
but here's what I suggest you install to try it out:
soundconverter
gstreamer0.10-plugins-base
gstreamer0.10-plugins-good
gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad
gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly

You could also use mencoder, a video converter usually associated
with mplayer. There are instructions here:
http://exxamine.wordpress.com/2007/08/06/mencoder-examples-and-converting-from-intel-indeo-5/
Once you have mencoder installed, run something like:
# mencoder the_indeo_file -o output_file.avi -ovc lavc -oac pcm
If you want to use mp3 format for sound, you will get a smaller
output file size with:
# mencoder the_indeo_file -o output_file.avi -ovc lavc -oac mp3lame
But if you dont have mp3 codecs installed then mencoder will
complain it cant find them. The first command will work no matter
what, but the output file will be a bit bigger because it uses pcm
as the audio format on the output file.
