mp4 codec with Quicktime

[mikeinkaty]

Is there anyway to load the mp4 codec from Quicktime without actually loading Quicktime?  Quicktime is slower than snot in january on my machine (XP Pro) plus their mime & file settings hijacked a lot of my settings.  Pissed me off, so I uninstalled it!

Or, is there another mp4 codec that will work that does not carry a lot of baggage or garbage along with it.  I tried ffdshow but that hijacked **bleep** near all my settings!  And, it won’t let you do a screen capture with video’s.

I have read various verbage on the internet that says that SMC will work with mp4 files.  I guess those writers must have already had a mp4 codec loaded!

Thanks

Have you tried K-Lite codec pack? Google it. I don’t remember all that’s in it, but as the name implies it’s a ‘pack’ of codecs.

K-Lite uses the mp4 codec from ffdshow which does not allow Auto Clip Save in Thumbplus with mp4 video’s.  All you get is a black screen copied to the clipboard.

Da.  Use CCCP instead.  K-lite is a pain.
