Cause it is fun to have the last word :). Just kidding. Go to www.musicmatch.com and download the sofware. I am not going to make you mad. Just go to www.musicmatch.com to get the software. If you want 103 free MP3 songs you can send for the free cd from www.mp3.com. The free cd has a music video, alas only in Quicktime, the software to make MP3s and WMA files, and free music. Trust me the free cd is a better bet.

I believe Rutger meant that you can not make your own Windows Media Movie clips. From what I know you can make your own WMA music and sound files but no software exists to do the WMA video format. As for MP4 it does not do video it only does sound. Check out the site Rutger mentioned www.mp3.com for all the info on MP4.

Essentially the point is this: MPEG 4 isnt complete yet, IEEE and other standards committees are still battling over things, because in this crazy format even things like texturemapping (!) are implemented, so essentially you can play quake with windows media player (j/k)

At any rate what Microsoft has done is take the (mostly finished) MPEG4-video format and build a encapsulating format around this called 'Advanced Streaming Format' - which really isnt any different from AVI, only has some limitations removed.

Bottomline: With programs like Sonic Foundry's Stream anywhere, or simply the MS-Media tools, you can create .ASF files that contain MPEG4 video, paired with , but you can also, for example, put Intel Indeo 5 video and CELP audio in an ASF. (for the masochists among us). Microsoft is pushing you to use its Microsoft Audio format, however tests have shown that that format is hugely inferior to MP3, so get a MP3 codec somewhere and use that.
