mp4 plays with sound in other players but not MediaLab despite 3ivx

Yes, MediaLab uses the WMP to play videos so if WMP won't play them correctly, then neither will MediaLab. One option is to embed the video as QuickTime in some HTML--do you know how to do that?

I have embedded the mp4s and will test them out tomorrow. I'm a bit concerned whether the screen-fill autosizing will work in this format, but will report back. Thanks for the suggestion.

I can get the .html embedded video to play (both independently and in MediaLab) with sound, but cannot resize the movie. The embedding also takes a moment to load, which I would really prefer not to have as it looks poorly put together. I haven't tested to see if the triggers will still even work with the item listed as .html instead of movie in the editor. Is there any other workaround to run mp4 through MediaLab? Any utility in uninstalling/reinstalling Medialab after the codecs and players are installed (we did it in reverse this time, with MediaLab in before those)?

I used the Scale="ToFit" option for full screen, which worked fine with provided width and height parameters in IE, it's only in MediaLab that the sizing does not work. Deleting or adjusting the size within the parameters of MediaLab has no effect. So basically, all that will play in the embedded video format is the movie in the size in which it was originally recorded, which was actually a bit small.

I assume that editing/resizing the original video will be helpful and will do that next (the software is just a pain to access for me or I would have tried sooner), but I would still strongly prefer a working-codec solution if one is available. Thank you for the help.
