Anybody ever had mp4 movies tagged in Winamp?

Why Winamp not play MP4 video?

Winamp supports playback of Windows Media Video and Nullsoft Streaming Video. For MPEG Video, AVI, and other unsupported video types, Winamp uses Microsft’s DirectShow API for playback, allowing playback of most of the video formats supported by Windows Media Player. Obviously, Winamp has excluded native playback support for MP4 video. To play MP4 video on Winamp, you will definitely need to perform a format transcoding process.
