How to get video MPEG4 codec?

[backpack45scb]

An earlier post talked about this codec, but I can't find it - the post excerpt:

"However I have discovered another feature of the video encoding provided by PTE. If you start the video encoding dialog box. Then select "creat custom AVi video file", then click on "Video codec" and select "MPEG4 Video Codec V2", then select "configure" ..."

I'm trying to produce youtube video with pte 4.48, and can't find mpeg4. Any help appreciated. I've searched old posts but can't find answer.

Thanks

Type mpeg4x.zip in Google and you'll find MPEG4 encoder. It's only 130 KB.

Quality is very good and file size is small.

Windows 98, Me, 2000, XP, Vista can natively play .avi with MPEG4 codec. No additional software or decoders are not required.

Unfortunately Microsoft stoped distribution of this encoder and went to own WMV format.

One last problem - I installed the mpeg4.zip - worked ok, but once I rebooted, mpeg4 disappeared from my video codecs list in PTE. I reran the install exe and got it back. Does anyone have a suggestion on how to keep it installed? I'm on Windows XP.
