These are both ancient MPEG-1 (as used on Video-CD) players, they
don't even play MPEG-2 streams (as used on Video-DVD)

Now, MPEG4 is a totally different beast altogether, and includes
several different codecs, most of them used with a Video-for-Windows
(aka "AVI") format.

The more common ones include "DivX ;-)" and OpenDivx, as well as a
Microsoft codec whose name I cannot remember.


There is an avi/divx decoder library in the NetBSD pkgsrc, avifile,
that uses the Windows binary codecs to decode the files. I don't know
if there is (yet) a player program in pkgsrc.
