Help With Mp4's

Post by CreepingDave »

I recently got some mp4 files, which I really haven't come across much before, and soon had trouble getting it to play. All the players I have can manage the audio but there is no video. I've tried numerous codecs/decoders and nothing seems to work, so obviously im doing something wrong.

Perhaps someone with experience with this file type can help me out, perhaps a step by step guide on what I need to do. :lol: I use Winamp and Windows Media Player mainly, I have quicktime also. I'd rather not install any other players...

Thanks!

I use VLC Player.

Not sure if there's a codec for WMP, but wouldn't mind one.
