mpeg-4 is a container format. It can contain many different codecs.
What codec is the mpeg-4 you're working with?
Open the file in Quicktime (even if it doesn't play) and press Apple-i
for Get Info.
This should tell you the codec, among other things.
You may need a plugin of some sort to decode the file... maybe Divx or Xvid:
