is there a codec or something i can download(free) so that i can play mpeg2 or mp4 videos on windows media player? i need to edit some videos on windows movie maker(yes i know it sucks but i dont have time to find a better one) and theyre only in mpeg2 or mp4... thanks
P.S. does the "mp" in mp4 stand for mpeg? ive always been confused about that.

You can play mp4 with FFDshow. MPEG2 is a format DVDs use.
Maybe it's easier to just convert everything to xvid.

This.
Install and run, make sure you DOWNLOAD the RIGHT FILE TYPE for the RIGHT PLATFORM.
After that, you should be able to run MP4s easily.
