You might want to install the great free AVI/H264 Codec "x264"

While that may indeed be the greatest codec ever invented, and while
your particular setup can play H264 conversions, most people cannot
play them.

But they could if they installed the x264 Codec, or the VLC player.

I was talking about my ILO. They didn't even install a DivX. I had to
get beta f/w to have what I got not.

I am lucky my $99 ILO can even play XviDs. I do not need to spend lots
of money for the greatest codec ever invented.

The x264 codec is free and works with most encoder programs and editors.

But I have no way to put it on my ILO.

Bye the way this thread wasn't about your luck with XviD, or how much
you would spend to obtain a free codec. Nor was it about which .mp4
compression format is "best".

It is now.
