can anyone tell me a free or opensource site for obtaining a windows runnable MP4 and/or H264 codec. Right now I use VLC,TMPEC,Virtualdub Xvid4,divix6 and WMP for all of my video editing work. As well as blender for creation of 3D animations and model that I export to divx. I would like to be able to post a video political and pop culture commentary videoblog but also have it downloadble to ipod and MP3 players if possible. Yes I am just doing this as a hobby. That is why all the tools need to be freeware or opensource.
