Gregor,
Before installing codec package you need to know which is the format of the
animations you can't see in HyperWorks.
Video files are composed of a container (i.e.: "avi", "mkv", "mov") and the
info encoded with a compression algorithm (i.e.: "divx", "xvid", etc.).
What can you tell us about them?
Please take into account that 64-bit programs need 64-bit codecs and that
32-bit programs need 32-bit codecs.
Which is the "bitness" of HyperWorks?

Hello Carlos,

thanks for your quick response. The files I mostly use are "avi" and the
"indeo 5.10" compression. I have installed the 64bit -Version of Hyperworks 9.
I have already talked to the Altair-Support and he explained me that the
program can only access the codecs in the list in the device manager (see
message before)

Thank you very much for your help!

kind regards,
Gregor

There's the root cause. You need the x64 version of the Indeo codec which
does not (and will not) exist.
Your players can play your avi files because they are 32-bit players that
use the 32-bit available Indeo codec.

This is what Ligos (Indeo mfgr) says here:
http://www.ligos.com/index.php/home/support/indeosupport/
"64-bit Windows Operating Systems - Please note that Indeo Codecs are not
compatible with any 64-bit version of Windows OSes (Windows XP 64-bit Edition
for Itanium systems, Windows XP 64-bit Edition Version 2003, Windows XP
Professional x64 Edition, 64-bit versions of Windows Server, and 64-bit
versions of Windows Vista)."

Is there any way that you can change the compression format from Indeo to a
more popular one?

Hey,

ok, i was not aware of that. I chose this codec because everybody in my
"working environment" can watch the videos. Can you recommend a other one
which is compatible with xp x64?

Thank you very much for your support!

Gregor,
Try this version of ffdshow:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/ffdshow-tryout/files/SVN%20builds%20by%20clsid/64-bit%20builds/ffdshow_rev3063_20090827_clsid_x64.exe/download

It is an x64 multiformat encoder/decoder.
I would choose the xvid coded from that bunch.
They can coexist with your current 32-bit codecs.
