or the CCCP: [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
Don't install both, the CCCP is lighter, but plays less things. After you install the codecs and restart your computer, the mp4 will play in windows media player, or media player classic, which comes with both codec packs. [ theymos's advice column | Ask theymos A Question ]
