What you have done with your WinX software, and what Illico was attempting to get you to do using the ffmpeg software, is to remux your MP4 file to a new MP4 container.
A very simplified explanation:
A video file consists of at least three components --> a video stream, an audio stream and a container file to hold it all together. So your MP4 file contains video (likely H264), audio (likely AAC) all wrapped together in an MP4 container (the container tells the playback device a bit about the video and audio streams, how they stored and how to play them back).
Sometimes the software that produces the original video file includes something that is "non-standard" in the container. Some devices have no problem playing these non-standard containers, others freak out and cannot play them. Remuxing is the process of copying the video and audio streams into a new container - sometimes, as seems to have worked here, you can use remuxing to fix any anomalies within the original container, and fix an otherwise unplayable file.
The beauty is that remuxing does not result in any loss in quality in either video or audio. It's also quick to do - so its easy to test whether it fixes things.
