Movie with file extension M4a

[demosthenes]

Hi, can anyone help me with this..

I downloaded a movie and the file extension is .m4a.

Windows Media Player cannot play this file..

What do I do?

As always, your help would be much appreciated.

File Extension Details for .M4A (http://filext.com/detaillist.php?extdetail=M4A)

Viewed using regedit...
"C:\Program Files\Real\RealPlayer\RealPlay.exe" "%1" is my registry setting at "HKCR\RealPlayer.M4a.6\Shell\Open\Command".

In other words, Real Player opens files of that type on my PC.

I got my [FREE] copy HERE (http://uk.real.com/?src=realplayer); haven't had any trouble with it, took me ages to decide to download it.

RealPlayer isn't the only player capable of playing them...WinAmp and several others can too. (But not, apparently WMP.)

You may or may not have the codecs needed, so if a player that is capable of playing still won't, then you will need to install additional codecs.

Thanks guys, I have downloaded WinAmp..I think I would get it to work.
