Re: Mv4 extension

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Now that I know that QuickTime can play it.. (Yes I downloaded it and
installed it) I really don't need to convert it.. it works great..
appreciate all the help.. thanks Rainy ps. and by the way not only does it
play full screen, it's very clear and crisp... awesome in my opinion! what
a nice thing not to be the same person with anyone.. yes I might have
confused that.. sorry again.. :)

I have seen the most awesome commercial for honda civic where
people (a choir) make sound effects with their voices.. and there
is a place to download the video but it comes in MV4 file format..
so my question is.. is that a Windows XP File format? Also can I
change the format?
here's the site... http://84.40.3.164/

http://www.honda.co.uk/civic/

normally I would not send
links such as this to a tech group.. but my question is about the
extension .. there is a place to download this video... but since
it comes to you in MV4 format.. I guess I can't use it.. any help
appreciated.. The link is worth the view!!! Rainy

As I believe that is the extension it gives when a file is exported
to iPod.

So - no one just tried Quicktime like I said?

Open Quicktime, drag/drop the .mv4 file onto it and play.
Yes - it's small - it will not full screen.. It *is* a podCast
after all. But you can play it with the latest quicktime.

As for conversion - I don't know - but I guess you could look at
these forums:

http://videohelp.com/

and ask around if needed.

Hi Shenan, :) sorry I sure didn't see it... I stopped reading after
your comment.. at my age, I do that quite alot... :( I do ask
around.. before I post here, normally I have googled myself silly!

Also about quicktime, it came with Itunes.. and both gave me some
problems so I could not use either one.. I will look again for
quicktime that comes without itunes.. I'm not sure why it gave me
errors, but I uninstalled it.. since I know that a bad install can
cause serious problems for your computer.. and having that video is
not one of those necessary things, I sure did want it though.. :)

thanks for sticking with me.. it's appreciated.. Rainy

I have to know what that was.. My original response was two

Yes I already said I was sorry...

You have to know what that was? What?

when I went to the link you posted.. http://filext.com/ I put MV4
in the search.. and it came up oops! it's not in the database. so
I don't know what you mean it worked for you.. also just tried it
and got the same response at that site... .

I also googled and got some french sites, and a place to purchase
it! So then I went to the link, but I did respond and say that
quicktime worked.. and I do appreciate it.. Rainy

I did not post any links originally.
I did in a later response.

I have included the parts of the thread above that you and I participated
in..
As you can see, I never posted anything about fileext.com. I never said
"it worked for me", etc.

I think you are confusing myself and Stan Brown..
I assure you - we are not the same person. *grin*
