That's what I'm trying to say -- it's not a 'special' format.  It's just 
mp4 video with aac audio.  There are many dvd players that will play back 
the raw files from iso cds or dvds.  A windows pc with media player 
classic and the windows essential codec collection [both freeware] will 
also play it back just fine.
