In disable filters uncheck ffdshow audio decoder and ffdshow video decoder. Scroll down and also uncheck intervideo audio decoder and intervideo video decoder. Close it out and close the player. Now your gom player will play the video. You can also change associations which will make Gom the default player for MP4 files.

These are product specific but this might also be a problem is it is surveillance products you are using. The MPEG-4 codec here is used to compress digital video streams, reducing their size while maintaining their quality, making it easier to store, transmit, and playback video files.
