You wouldn't seriously consider WMV9 a better alternative would you ? If you care to scroll back into the threads, you will find that I have generally suggested xvid, or even divx, as being a more useful, more broadly-decodable format. My suggestions and requests have been met with universal disdain as being the screeches of a heretic.
However, none of this is any use if you can't decode it. Even the best is useless if it can't be viewed. Apart from the extra space required why can't alternatives be offered? Can I get an ay-men-ah, brothers and sisters?
The continuing issue, accross which you have stumbled: iKamm believes wholly in his iReligion and hath therefore decreed an holy edict that, despite the continued presence of major artifacts [most recent emission excluded], H.264 Quicktime/MP4 shall be the medium of choice. It's his way of "gently persuading" one and all to convert to his iReligion. Naysayers are vilified, so watch your step, iHeathen! --gcr
