That's because those media players don't play MPEG-4 Elementary 
Stream Video files.

Although you can't play these files directly with a media player, you 
can play it (in VLC or QuickTime Player) by streaming it (using 
"testMPEG4VideoStreamer" or "testOnDemandRTSPServer") and viewing the 
stream (using the "rtsp://" URL).

Yes, the MPEG-4 Video standard is defined in the "ISO_IEC 14496-2" 
specification.
