@section Which codecs are supported by windows ?
Windows does not support standard formats like mpeg very well, unless you
install some additional codecs
The following list of video codecs should work on most windows systems
@table @option
@item msmpeg4v2
.avi/.asf
@item msmpeg4
.asf only
@item wmv1
.asf only
@item wmv2
.asf only
@item mpeg4
only if you have some mpeg4 codec installed like ffdshow or xvid
@item mpeg1
.mpg only
@end table
note, asf often uses .wmv or .wma extensions in windows, it should also be
mentioned that asf is patented, so microsoft may sue or threaten users who
use it if they see any reason to do so, it is strongly recommanded to avoid asf
for any use
The following list of audio codecs should work on most windows systems
@table @option
@item adpcm_ima_wav
@item adpcm_ms
@item pcm
@item mp3
if some mp3 codec like lame is installed
@end table
