where can I find the MP4V codec?

I have a file that needs a MP4V codec.

Where I can find this codec ?

Visit www.3ivx.com and download the relevant codec from there.

I just spent ages trying to find this myself and finally found it. There’s different versions there for Windows, Mac (OS9 & OSX), Amiga and Linux.

just download VLC media player
and you will be able to view almost
any kind of file.

The xvid codec will handle videos with fourcc mp4v

— edit —
I meant “AVI’s with fourcc mp4v”.

I downloaded and installed the mp4v codec from 3ixv.com to work with my WinAVI MP4 video converter. Suddenly my converted MP4 videos are all shrunken to half their original size ! any advice from any one ? Thanks !!!!

My phone takes videos in mp4 format and i forward it to my notebook.There used to be no problem but all of a suden I lost the video,i get only the sound and it shoots up a codec error,how can i fix it?

Just to clarify:
In QuickTime files (extension .mov), .mp4 files, and .3gp files, mp4v is the fourcc for MPEG-4 (part 2). It’s generally referred to as Apple MPEG-4, but I’m not certain about the designation. Here’s why: If you use 3ivx as your compressor in QuickTime Pro, the encoded file also has fourcc mp4v (albeit at a higher quality than if you use Apple’s MPEG-4 codec). I guess it’s just MPEG-4 part 2, and anyone can implement it.
In theory xvid can decode AVI files with fourcc MP4V (it’s in the decoder options box - you have to check it to enable that), but I’ve never encountered any.
fourcc.org has this entry for MP4V:
Media Excel MPEG-4 Video. LEAD’s MCMP codec also supports this format.
I’m guessing Dave Wilson (the owner of fourcc.org) is talking about the fourcc in an AVI.
I can’t test whether 3ivx will decode mp4v in AVI (it can decode mp4v in .mov .mp4 .3gp, even without quicktime), because I don’t have any mp4v avi samples to test with - however the posters above say it works, so I’ll take their word for it.
Bottom line: get QuickTime or 3ivx for mp4v in .mp4 .mov or .3gp.
get 3ivx or xvid for mp4v in avi (and let us know if it works).

you must opt for quiock time player why waste time

Hi wondering if any of you guys can help. I downloaded a video and its in mp4v. I am trying to get it to play on my N96 but am I right in saying I need to convert the file somehow? Any ideas how I can solve this?

the MP4V codec is included with windows quicktime ver 6.7 or later. with QT free download, or a paid Qt Pro edition. Enjoy! oh after installing QuickTime (QT) reboot ur system, and open WMPlayer it should automatically add the codecs from the shared codecs folder system hides from all users.
