Windows Media Player and mp4

Our PCs at work with WMP 9 won't play mpeg4 files. Is this normal? The help file says that it should. But, then again it says you can access the file types through the Tools/Options/File Types tab, but there isn't one.

PS: they will play the audio, but not the video.

You need THIS MPEG-4 codec (or something similar); MediaPlayer will then show related video files.

NB: Useful for new BBC VideoPodcasts - or Vodcasts as they call them - via podcast receiver
