Why can´t I save my films in mpeg format? It is non DVD
players that can works with DV-AVI or WMV format. I must
use another programs to save my films in mpeg. I think
that is stupid because I can import mpeg files but not
save.
 
Hi there,

I may be wrong here...but as I understand it, its all to do with the issue
of Copyright and licensing. The outcome is that many program can import
MPeg's but only those that have been licensed can save to that format.
Microsoft do NOT own the licence for MPeg's and so before MM2 could save to
that format, Microsoft would have to pay for a substantial licence to cover
everyone in the world who uses MM2...I wonder how much that might cost ??
Now if they did this, it would mean that Microsoft would be paying the
licence holders for Mpeg so that you could use it, and that would come
under the heading of Bad Business.
