iso mpeg-4 Video, V1

I have a number of asf files that play ok in windows media player.

Info says that the video is: iso mpeg-4 Video, V1

These will not play in quicktime. I have flip4mac and Divx installed.

Following a search of this forum I followed a link to PSPware. The downloaded program converted the movies to quicktime files that Quicktime now opens. Movie info show it as mpeg -4 video

So I can now deal with these movies OK

Question - is there a third party codec that will enable quicktime to open the original files directly? I have quicktime pro version 7.0.1.

Will QT 7.0.2 open these? I am a bit wary of the update as I don't want to break Divx which appears to work ok for me at the moment despite reports that it shouldn't with Tiger

Are you sure you're running the latest Flip4Mac codec? They added support for those MS proprietary (they're not ISO, actually) in 1.0.2.

QuickTime 7.0.2 does not break DivX (note that DivX 5 is not compatible with QT7).

Sorted!

I downloaded the update but it didnt work at first. In response to your reply I tried a restart and it now works OK. Thanks for the prompt.

I know that they say Divx 5 doesn't work with QT 7 but it does here. I don't want to upset it......

You're very welcome. Oh, you do need to quit and relaunch QuickTime Player every time you install a new coded.

Yes, I reverted to DivX 5.1. V. 5.2 had too many incompatibility issues.
