Merge

Should WMV HD and VC-1 be merged? At the least, the two articles are not self consistent. The article WMV HD says it is now also called VC-1. The VC-1 article says Although VC-1 and WMV9 refer to the same codec technology, VC-1 is actually a superset of WMV9, containing more coding tools for interlaced video sequences than the original WMV9 codec, which concentrated on progressive encoding for computer displays.

What about film soundtracks that never were 5.1?

"WMV-HD conform videos feature a 5.1 surround soundtrack, which is encoded in WMA-9."

What about older films, whose theatrical release was in mono, stereo, or matrix surround? Does a "conforming" transfer require remixing the audio from the original multitrack source? --Damian Yerrick 01:51, 22 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, It should be merged.

I definetly think it should be merged. WMVHD is the name of files encoded using VC-1. It should be merged.

No, It should not be merged.

WMV-HD is the name of a disc format, containing Windows Media 9 High Definition video files on a DVD-ROM. The article needs some updating, as there are dozens of available titles (I have 12 titles myself). VC-1 discusses the SMPTE approved encoder... these are 2 different topics.

Stripping DRM

"The DRM on WMV HD can be stripped using Sidda and/or DRMCreep or drmdbg or drm2wmv. You can find more information at Doom9's Forum." Do you think this is appropriate to say on Wikipedia? Is stripping the DRM illegal in the US? (Please mirror reply on my talk page) Josh 19:41, 26 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
