MP4 downloads confounding me

[GoldCoastGuy]

So when I started downloading videos from this site they were downloaded in the flash video format and I could save them and play them back. All of sudden all my downloads are saving in the .mp4 mode and I can't play them back on my computer.

Does anybody know how to solve this problem. I already downloaded the latest version of RealPlayer, but it still does it. I am a computer idiot, although I already tried changing the RealPlayer settings to save in flash video.

Am I just stupid?

mp4 is a variation of a quicktime file. Load up quicktime (mp4 usually requires 7.5 or later to play) and you should be all set! ;) If i'm wring, just slap me with a dildo until i come to my senses. lol

If you don't have one find and download a swift player.On any mp4 files you what to watch with the new player, right click on the file , click the Properties assign (associate) the file to be opened with the Swift player, browse to find it if necessary.....DOT NOT TELL IT YOU OPEN ALL FILES OF THIS TYPE THAT WAY..or you won't be able to use Quicktime/iTune files.

There may in fact be a better way but this is what I do.
