The 6.3 and later version from Ronn's website will work.

Where are you trying to play the movie?

You need to break this down step by step.  Can you create an avi (full 
frames uncompressed, not your Y800 codec)?  Can you play it in media 
player?  Can you read it using testAviGenReader? (I can confirm that 
this all works on my machine: IDL 7.0 Windows XP, x86-32.

Once you get the demos working with a common codec, then try your Y800 
codec.
