It supports MPEG2, but not MPEG4

From my understanding WMP for Windows Mobile does not support mpeg (or a
slew
of other media formats) like its big brother on Windows XP/2003/etc.

At a minimum I need mpeg support for my client.

In the future will WMP for WM5 support other file formats? Is there an
article about this anywhere?

Thank you

WMP has an ActiveX control that would probably work. Alex Feinman did a

Background:

I'm developing using Visual Studio 2005 Professional on Windows XP Pro
targetting Windows Mobile 5.0 PPC. I'm writing a simple dialog
application
that can play some set of media files (jpg, mpeg1(2 and 4), wmv, mp3)

I have investigated many open source projects out there, including VLC,
TCPMP, wxWidgets and GStreamer.

Current:

I'm not quite sure what the best route is to go. Basically I want an
SDK/API
to play different media file formats that works on Windows CE. Here are
some
questions I'm trying to find answered:

1) What is the recommended SDK/API for multiple formats that works on
WM5?

2) Are there any activex controls that already support multiple
formats?

3) Are there any closed source projects with good support and complete
API's? (that cost money of course)

Any advice or suggestions are appreciated...

Thanks
