HD DVD is not DVD and has nothing to do with the OP. You are clutching at straws, straw man.

gee that was an AMAZON (sic) leap of web searching. Of course some dedicated DVD players can play MP4, just like they can play audio CD's as do heaps of other items (ipod, PSP, iphone ring a bell????).

Do you have a point here besides illustrating your twisted way of admitting that I was correct?

What was wrong with using an Amazon search to illustrate that some consumer DVD players, including in-vehicle ones, support .MP4?

My questions were trying to point out the difference between Mp4 (NOT supported by the BMW car player according to his list) and MPEG-4.... The OP wasn't getting anywhere was he, but we already knew that because it was playing the sound only and not his video. Secondly, assuming he understood the difference and I was misunderstanding his use of Mp4 and Mpeg-4 in his post, I simply asked for further info.

You were trying to help the OP but wrote misleading information. Too bad that you cannot understand that.

You really can't read can you.... Mp4 is a container format and so are avi's. The MP4 file format is originally based on Apple's Quicktime file, which is a computer supported format.

I can read. It's unfortunate that you don't know how to write well or accurately.

reaallly??? 'and provides link to wikipedia' ...... errr

Point out any inaccuracies in the Wikipedia articles that I quoted.

My Bad...... would you like me to point you to the proper information that you know all about? I can even point you to the web site if you like.... if you're talking about a pissing contest I suggest you check your pants..... there's a little bit of dribble...

You cannot admit to a mistake can you? And there is no contest here. You were knocked out in the first round. Time to wipe yourself off the floor and go home before you show more evidence of your brain damage.

obviously you cannot read, so let me spell it out for you...

Instead of admitting you were, at best, unclear you resort to shouting. LOL

oh, and by the way, if you're gonna quote 'official definitions' why don't you try a little harder instead of 'imadeitupedia'??

LVR again shows his ignorance. The Wikipeida pages contain accurate information and are readable. I never suggested they were "official defintions."

They are much easier to read than the specs. But if you're interested, here's a book:

and an overview of the standard:

Now.... to point out the obvious, you really are a KNOB (end of an appendage) coming in and 'expertly' correcting someone who was trying to assist the OP? Offer your help to the OP and leave it at that....

I was helping the OP, partly by pointing out the inaccuracies in your posts. Too bad you can't see that.

Keep posting your loquacious laughable lilts, LVR. You are quite amusing.
