And where do you find the .mp4 files?
Real has announced support for MPEG-4 via your plug-in. But REAL 
support means offering .mp4 files for use with their player.  They 
don't have any reason to use MP4 over their own proprietary solution.
Given the current air of uncertainty, I would not expect to see a 
significant amount of MP4 content  available in the near future.
