Question For Doc: SANYO-To-WMV HD

If one goes to the SANYO Web site and downloads one of those poor quality .MP4 720p clips, one can then insert them into the Ulead MediaStudio Pro 8 timeline and edit them (if one has the .MP4 plug-in from Ulead installed).

Unfortunately, the Ulead .MP4 plug-in is deficient in that it seems to be designed for small-screen video only and there's no way to export 1280 x 720 HD frame sizes.

After one gets over this disappointment, one can then try Windows Media HD as the output format.

After creating a Windows Media HD 720p clip, I then attempt to play the clip.

1. In InterVideo WinDVD 8, the clip plays fine.

2. In Microsoft's latest Windows Media Player -- with the InterVideo DVD X Pack installed -- I get a black screen, but the audio plays.

Why am I getting this black screen?

Shouldn't Microsoft's Windows Media Player play Microsoft's 720p high definition clips?

By the way, I edited the .MP4 clips by first converting them to uncompressed .AVI.

Then I convert the edited uncompressed .avi to Windows Media HD.

If I attempt to go directly from the SANYO .MP4 to Windows Media HD, no conversion can be completed.

I'm not sure why not.
