    Search this site for mp43 and you'll find a ton of links to the right codec.

    ASF MPEG-4 is the one you need.

    MP43 stands for MPEG4 version 3 of the early microsoft MPEG4 codec -- which was really just a technology demonstration. Divx started with that source code so 3.11 is compatible with it. Later they rewrote the whole thing (starting with their version 4) to avoid copyright and/or patent issues. Microsoft themselves abandoned the codec to develop thier own proprietary WM9.
