MP4 is a much better container format than .avi.

I previously discussed this a little in July's "viewing .m4v files= with totem" thread:

Use the `mplayer -identify` command given there to determine the codec of y= our video.

The codec is H.264, which most of my reade= rs don't have.=A0 They are non-technical which makes it a major pain, a= nd I want out of it.
