Updating MP4 codecs?
Is it possible to update codecs so that you have the most recent and best codecs for a particular format? If so, can someone explain what you have to do, and which is the best for the mp4/h.264 format.
I am still using the same presets that came with the program a couple of years ago, but I want to start archiving video as mp4 files. From what I understand, there are many different brands of mp4 codecs out there. And I’m sure that different people swear by different versions of these codecs. But in any case, new ones are probably going to be much better than the ones currently available. And going forward it would be nice to know how to update these from time to time.
Thanks

I would also love to know the answer to this question. I’ve played with Vegas 7 and 8, and it appears that there’s a folder (C:\Program Files\Sony\Shared Plug-Ins\File Formats\MCMP4) which contains the MP4 codecs used by Vegas.
I have a new digital camera (Samsung NV24HD) which records H.264 video in 720p. Other MP4 codecs I’ve tried (ie FFDshow, 3ivx) can play the video flawlessly. However, the Vegas MP4 codec, mcmp4plug.dll, cannot render the video correctly. I get audio only with Vegas 7, and Vegas 8 crashes completely. I would like to update Vegas’s codecs to use the FFDshow or 3ivx codecs if possible.
Does anyone know how to change which MP4 decoder is used by vegas?
Thanks,
Jonathan
