Well, not being a windows user, and figuring that it it wasn't wmv or flv, 
the approved windows codecs according to the muttering on the street, I have 
no idea if windows even knows what an .mp4 is.

Just barely.  I took lessons at mothers insistence when I was in the 2-3-4th 
grades.  I can read music well enough to pick out the melody, but that's 
about it.  My wife, an elementary school level music teacher, now retired for 
several years, thinks that is amazing.  Shrug.  :-)

Only a tech could come up with that, and I'm a C.E.T.  I don't think, in 60 
years of it, that I have managed a year without doing exactly that.  
Maddening...
