Maybe they will believe Microsoft then because even Windows Media 9 can
produce (more or less) standards compliant output.
"Windows Media Video 9 VCM provides the quality and flexibility of
Windows Media Video without requiring the Advanced Systems Format (ASF)
container. ASF is the container specification to which the familiar WMA
and WMV files conform."
But as Windows Media player plays almost any format other than Real
Media there is no need to use WM9 at all as the only distribution
formst for the media.
Typically movie trailers are released by the big film companies in an
mpeg-4 format which all the major players (including Windows Media
Player) can play. Very often with QuickTime recommended. VMS marketing
is obviously aimed at a techically less aware audience than "Dude,
Where's my Car."
Which reminds me. the trailers for Star Wars III and the Hitch Hikers
Guide to the Galaxy Movie are worth a look. Oh and the new series of
Doctor Who starts on the BBC in the UK later this month but I really am
drifting off topic now.
