audiio codec used movie maker

just a note to say that all of the profiles in Movie Maker render WMV files using the WMA10 codec, one that an XP system might not have.
I met a nicely written error message when I tried to import a WMV file made in Vista to my XP laptop system... it told me I didn't have the codec, and it couldn't automatically get it for me because my option to automatically get needed codecs was turned off. I turned it back on, it got and installed the codec, and all worked well. -- PapaJohn

I think this will be fixed.... eventually :op
