    Can't Play .MP4s

    I'm trying to convert my .dvr-ms files for use on my Nokia E90.  I was excited to see
    a specific setting for the E90 in MCEBuddy V.1.0.8!  I've installed MCEBuddy and it
    seems to be running OK.  I see all of the .mp4 files but I cannot play them.  I get
    different error messages with each software package I use to try to play them:


    Windows Media Player:
    "Your computer is running low on memory. Quit other programs, and then try again."

    RealPlayer:
    "A General Error Has Occurred."  "file://C:/Documents...mp4"  "MOre information is
    available at the RealNetworks Customer Support Website"

    QuickTime:
    "Error -2048: Couldn't open the file Robot Chicken_TOONP_29_08_2008_03_29_02.mp4
    because it is not a file that Quicktime understands."

    E90:
    {From File Browser} "Unable to open. File type not supported"
    {From RealPlayer}  {Doesn't show up in /Options/Open/Saved Clip even though other
    .mp4 do play}
     

    What can I do to troubleshoot this issue?  Do I need to D/L Drivers or Codecs?



    Thanks in advance.  If this works, it would be GREAT software!

    To play MP4 under Media Center or Media Player, K-Lite is probably your best bet, though the E90 setting should work on the E90 as there was a lot of device specific testing by one of the beta testers who had one.  I don't have one myself.
