mp4 file

[trbecker]

I'm having trouble getting mp4 files to play. I'm pretty sure the file itself is fine, due to its extremely widespread acceptance. Any insight greatly appreciated. Running Windows 7, newest version of VLC.

May be it is a corrupt file. Somewhere in the download process the file has been damaged enough to no longer be recognised as a playable file. It happens.
