I'm curious if D11 will play .mp4 files back without QT installed. I would check the Demo but it is currently unavailable.
I'm running MX 2004 and haven't had any luck.

Mpeg Advance xtra from Tabuleiro can play mp4 files without requiring
QT. I do not think that they have released a D11 version, but if you
are on PC and are targeting English language PCs (non Unicode file
paths), then the D10 version will probably work.

Hey monsterfish, how are you encoding your mpegs?
Are they mpeg4 encoded using QT or microsofts mpeg4 spec?
They are both different and as you can guess neither will play the others.
The other problem if you distributing for windows, WMP does not come with
a standard MPEG4 decoder, you have to use a third party decoder.

I've never had much luck with MPEG4 distribution, especially if Quicktime
install
is not an option. You can read more here

Good luck!
