Trouble with Video (MP4) Help!

Anyone had any success viewing the P900 MP4's on a Mac using Quicktime? I can see the MMS .3gp files okay but the MP4's are a no-go, any ideas?

Not sure why this should be a problem, I've encoded MP4 files in Quicktime (6.5 Pro) and swapped back and forth with only one slight problem - Sometimes QT player throws up an error saying it can't play the file, but I just click ignore, and the file plays anyway. Just a small bug in QT player I think.

Weird! Mine just plays the sound and just a black video stream with blocks of colour every now and then, MP4 which I make using the Mac are fine on the P900 though.

Aha! It would seem that the 3ivx codec is messing things up, uninstalling it seems to do the trick.
