Actually, I am SURE WMP plays MP4. I was able to tweak my WMP 8 to play MP4 by just going to the TOOLS option in WMP. I have the MP4 version of INCEPTION in 720P resolution that I play on WMP 7. WMP 9 is a different matter though.
Real Player loads your computer with so many snoop tricks that it grinds to a halt.
YIKES!!! You can't be serious ... that 100% SpyWare and Take-Over-Your-Computer software is the bane of the computer world. It's a wonder they're still in business and pushing that POS still.
Every link to Real and/or RealNetworks has been BLOCKED/BANNED on every computer that I have .. I make a point of it whenever setting up a new machine.
There are other, safer ways of getting an MP4 to play, mainly by downloading and installing codecs (often free) for Windows Player ... as several have mentioned here already.
Avoid 'Real' like the miserable plague that it is!
/OK .. rant off :)
