I will install the Codecs today.
What is AC3?
Why would my MP4 files actually be FLV?   What would the logic be behind renaming them?
(FYI:  I'm viewing tutorial files that someone else sent me. Those are the MP4 files I'm trying to watch.)

Try installing the free Quicktime Player. Just google for it and install it on your machine. It should be able to play your file.

Good Luck!
