Does mp4 players play MP4 encoded in H.264 codec? Is there any Divx player that play H.264 ?



Ahhh I was just wondering...
I have an old computer ... to make it work on my TV with a cable do I need some drive or something like that?

divx players play the divx codec. the divx codec can be inside a .avi or .mp4 container. most modern divx players will be able to play .avi/.mp4 files with the divx codec.

what you're looking for is a h.264 player. the h.264 codec can also go in either a .avi or .mp4 container. there are h.264 players out there, but they're kinda expensive.

if your old computer has either a composite or s-video output, then you should be able to hook it up to a regular (modern) tv. but we'd have to know for sure what inputs your tv has and what outputs your computer has.

I run an HDMI cable to my TV from my video card. I basically did it because I picked up a BluRay/HD-DVD combo drive... so, it just worked out well for my files as well.
