MP4 Video and Vista

Anyone know where I can get a codec that will play MP4 video on Vista? When
I try to play it in WMP, I get the error that there is no codec, and in
searching Microsoft's site, it appears this is by design. The funny thing
is that the WMP version for the Pocket PC plays this format fine.

Download Zune desktop player for Windows Vista. That should playback most of
MP4 video.

The following free Multimedia soft will do the job:
Vlc (www.videolan.org/vlc/), Quicktime, old version of WMP (6.4)
