Europe enters into video-over-Net time

Can't find any English translation of this page, even after clicking on 'In English'. No matter, I hate WMV anyway. -- Klingy --

I tried Windows Media 9 with professional 5.1 WMA codec. Their video seems to be reasonably good, but their 5.1 sound which they claim to be superiour quality (like that of dolby digital) as low as 128kbps still sounds metallic at 192kbps. Also, the sound only came out the front two channels even though they said their codec is supported for my sound card (Sound Blaster Audigy 5.1).

A_Klingon: Ah yes, I forgot to add "No, you _can't_ 'fish' this" :-) ('fish' as in 'babelfish.altavista.com')

Their making a mistake implementing WMV, a bit to late to affect their deccission now though.

They (Moviesystems) probably didn't have a choice, Ghostdog. I expect that if they hadn't used Windows Media, with it's fierce DRM restrictions, Hollywood wouldn't have allowed them to stream their Wares. -- Mike --

Good point. Even though alot of videos aren´t playing on my MP 6.4, I still don´t want to update to newer versions though it might help.
