INSTALLING h.263 CODEC
For Windows 98
Unzip the h263 file after you have downloaded it and move/expand into a directory of your choosing. I suggest making a folder named h263 under the C:\
There will be 2 folders after unzipping : Oemsetup.inf vx1000s.dll
The following is a visual guide on installing the codec step by step

Select Add New HARDWARE
Step 3
Begin Install Wizard Click NEXT
Step 4
Windows 98 will attempt to look for the Hardware to Install Click NEXT
Step 5
Win98 will find some hardware and ask you if this is what you want it installed. Check "No, the device isn't on the list" and click NEXT
Step 6
Windows will now search for hardware that is
not Plug and Pray, tell it "No, I want to select the hardware from a list" and
click NEXT
Step 7

Click on it to Highlight

Step 9
Browse for the directory you expanded the codec into

This should already be highlighted. Click OK
Step 11
and OK in the "Install from disk" dialog
Step 12
Click OK when "H.263 " is displayed.
Step 13
If any dialogs asking to use a current or the
new version
of H.263 are displayed, select NEW
otherwise
Click finish to copy and install the codec files.
The new software H.263 codec is now installed and ready for use. Windows 98 asks to restart your computer.
Our experience is this is not needed to use the new codec. If you experience problems, then go ahead and restart.
