mpeg-4 video ES files

Can VLC play MPEG-4 video elementary stream files? If so, I haven't been able to figure out how to do it after parsing all of the help documentation and searching the forums. Currently, VLC just guesses that my file is an MPEG-2 file, which is of course wrong. Any tips would be appreciated.

VLC can read it, but is unable to autodetect the format. If you open the file, in the open file dialog, VLC will say something like:

file://C:/location/file.avi

make that

file/m4v://C:/location/file.avi

And the file will play.
