yes, I was wrong and you are right, I found out this, when googling:
[drivers]
...
VIDC.mvi1=mvicodec.dll
VIDC.mvi2=mvicodec.dll

so above to lines say that mvicodec.dll is the (16Bit?) VfW codec used to 
decode mvi1 and avi2.

; VfW 1.1e 16-bit AVI support [next 3 lines]:
VIDC.YVU9=C:\WG\SYSTEM\ir21_r.dll
VIDC.RT21=C:\WG\SYSTEM\ir21_r.dll
VIDC.IV30=C:\WG\SYSTEM\ir32.dll

Well, these files seem to be also needed for "YUV9 Decoding support", they 
seem to be from an old Win 3.1 VfW 1.1e package, that seems to basically 
contain indeo 2 & 3 codecs.
