I think I read in the DivX;-) faq that this codec was hacked from an MS one
and MS does NOT support it. In fact, I believe that MS actually revised the
Media Player to break support for it. That's why you have to use the old
Media Player. I think MPEG-4 is based on the Sorenson codec, but I'm no
expert.
