"On another note: when downloading TV shows or movies I don't remember seeing much if any offers in WMVs. It's always AVI, MP4 and MKV that I see."
Yes, because professional TV companies know that WMV is a non-professional, low-grade consumer format and wouldn't touch it unless they were forced to. In any case they would have to pay a commission to offer WMV, that''s why there's no such thing as a camcorder which records in WMV format, which should be an incredibly obvious invention when you think about it (there's also no such thing as a camcorder that records MOV format as far as I know, the reasoning behind that defeats me though).
In fact, if ANYONE can name a combination of camcorder and editing software in which the one actually shoots a format which can immediately load into the other, I'll eat my socks.
