bob,
Thanks for the reply. I got the answer I needed on another email group.
Apparently MS has abandoned the mpg4 codec and it is now available elswhere.
This is a change from about six weeks ago, when I was researching this same
thing for someone else, and found that MS would not allow anyone else to
offer it. FYI, there's a cool website that I was given to get the codec.
It's http://dvd.box.sk/indexN.php3?pid=divx&prj=soft2&tools=codecs
