Here's a tid bit from the sites MPEG-4 page:


"The problem is that a lot of AVI files was - doing a short period (during a beta stage of Windows Media Tools) - encoded using the MPEG-4v3. However when Microsoft released the next version of the tools MPEG-4v3 was no longer supported in AVI files. If you have an AVI file encoded using MPEG-4v3 and your version of the MPEG-4v3 codec (MPG4C32.DLL) is newer than 4.00.0.3688 you cannot play the file. However to be able to use it anyway you can do one of the following things:

Install the older version of the codec (search for it on the internet - it is NOT available on this website, as I do not have the legal right to distribute it).

Get a newer (full) release of the Windows Media Tools that includes a command line utility (vidtoasf.exe) that can convert your old MPEG4-v3 AVIs to ASFs. "
