I have a CD which has some MP4 video files on it, I am told they are high def MP4 files, but i just cannot find any software which has been able to view the files, The have come from a sanyo camcorder, size wise they are not massive, 30meg eash or so.
I have tried Nero showtime (latest with MP4 codec)
Winamp, a few freeware MP4 viewers,
anyone got any suggestions? maybe a convertor or something?

 

VLC Media Player seems to be able to deal with most stuff. It's free too, so give it a go.

Have a look on Sanyo's web site, you'll probably need their DV codec.

 

id try that, normally if windows media player 11 doesnt play a file VLC will

 

flawless player

even plays torrents that are not 100% finished

 

go for the k-lite codec pack

google it

 

Quicktime play them, VLC Player will play them, dont install any overly bloated codec packs.

 

cHEERS FOR THE REPLIES
Quicktime & VLC wont play it, I tried the K-lite pack when i got it as that was recommended to me, but alas no.

 

I use VLC on linux and my windows box for most things as for me its the daddy but download the FFDshow and give it a try with Real or WMP. It has lots of codecs and will kick in automatically with the correct one. You should see an FFDshow sign in the taskbar when its working with a player. I used to use it for films i downloaded, stuff installing endless amounts of codecs.

hehe, its one more codec pack that exist that play some strange codecs

i dont remember at th time as i am sitting on a laptop, i have it on the oher computer, will find it later


and all you duds out there

yes VLC is good, but it dont play all the codecs out there

and it sucks to play .wma and .mpg files for example

over media player classic that follows the k-lite codec pack
