How to watch MP4 on XP

inmypocketnottheirs · 30 April 2009 at 10:12PM

I would like to watch mp4 files on my windows xp laptop. I have WM player and have updated it to version 11 but still when I try to open a mp4 file it won't open with video graphics. In real player I get audio but again no video.

Do I need to download a codec or something similar? If so can anyone recommend a free download.

Off to the US over the weekend and I'd like to take my lappy to watch some decent in flight entertainment of my own choice.

Thanks!

Try QuickTime - works for me!

QuickTime, iTunes, or VLC should do it.

HandBrake is a very nice tool for creating mp4 video.
