mpg123 or mplayer are both *nix media players that can handle mpeg4 files. I'm not sure how you could go about getting them for the XO, but they are both command line interface, so you wouldn't have to do that much to make it work.<br>

<p><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">Here is my problem – I must be incredibly dense
because no matter how much I have tried I have not been successful in
understanding how to program some basic stuff that would make the XO incredibly
useful for me. For example, the following are things that I would like the XO
to be able to do and from what I read it is possible if you know how to add the
programs (which I do not).</span></font></p>
