[M4IF Technotes] How is a mp4 file formed?

[Rob Koenen]

Microsoft doesn't do MP4 files, not even incompatible ones.
Microsoft's MPEG-4 Video format is MPEG-4 compliant AFAIK.
To play mp4 files in Windows Media you could use a plug-in 
(Envivio has one) or e.g. Dicas's direct show filter.
Or you can go the non-MPEG-4 route of packing the MPEG-4
Video in ASF.
