Which Windows Media Video V9 (*.wmv) rendering template should I use to distribute my video on a CD demo to the widest variety of users? (..using the standard Windows Media Player)

First, you might not want to use WMP9....it's still "new" and anyone with less than XP probably won't be able to play it. Render the basic MPEG1 template instead. Just about all PCs play MPEG1. Image quality is about like VHS.

This is a FREE autorun program for CDRs! Works in nearly all stand alone PCs. Most networked PCs inj larger companies today prevent autorun start up.

So for MPEG1, which template is most common for this? Using the default template to render video at 720 x 480 or VCD NTSC 352 x 240. Thanks for the autorun tip.
