Maybe it isn't exotic in your world, although the standard was defined in 1998, I have only seen like 4 files of maybe a few thousand in the last 6 years that were MPEG4-encoded. For several reasons, I guess.. One may be that...
MPEG-4 is patented proprietary technology. This means that, although the software to create and play back MPEG-4 videos may be readily available, a licence is needed to use it legally. Patents covering MPEG-4 are claimed by over two dozen companies. There is no simple way to license MPEG-4, but the MPEG Licensing Authority can license patents required for MPEG-4 visual techniques from a wide range of companies (audio is licensed separately). A one stop shop is currently not possible; this article claims that AT&T is suing companies such as Apple over alleged MPEG-4 patent infringement. This AT&T action against Apple illustrates that it is hard to know which companies have patents covering MPEG-4.

Not really, but I hadn't heard of it until last year.

For some reason, though, the quality died when I imported it into iMovie to crop it. After I had taken out about half of the movie and saved it at max quality, the final file was a whopping, 7 megabytes. This is incredible when you consider that the full recording was 498 megabytes! Talk about big loosers... I wish iMovie gave you more freedom. I tried saving it with custom settings and the quality was just as bad, but it weighed in at 987 megabytes!

:o Rudel you posted while I was typing!:p

Hm... for some reason, I don't like the flip&cut throat. Maybe it's because I can't pull it off. Personally, I either beat them to death, or use the "ninja throw and rip knife out after knocking it down" move. I never got the hang of using corpse cannons, either... it always takes me too long to set it up.

I always beat wolves to death in face2face-battles (boring) or use leg cannons from behind and stab them while they're on the ground (fun).

And when they get annoying, I press I and SKABOOM blood everywhere :D

That big notice UNREGISTERED VERSION OF SNAPZ PRO makes the movie unviewable though.

in my opinion it best if you knock them down a then rabbit kick them while they are getting up

this requires LOTS of practice (try it on bunnies first)

what you do is get tham nere a wall, tree, or high ledge and knock them down (try not to hit them to far away)

while they are still getting up (they have to be high enough up to kick but to low to counter) bunnie kick them into the wall, tree, or high ledge

it will usually kill them

if it dosn't, do it 1-3 more times and they will die

Could someone post a video of how to spinecrush (or otherwise kill the wolves) in challenge 14 on insane? It's just impossible (for me) to beat them in honest brawl. I tried running from a wolf to a higher ground & leg cannoning the wolves down, killed 2 but the third didn't die. If I try to spinecrush them, they notice me when I'm ~2 meters behind them, in air... And yes, I'm coming from downwind. I have absolutely no idea how to do this. I've finished everything else, just not challenge 14.

Challenge 14 is a bitch...I still can't beat in on Insane. Silb should be able to provide a good video though.

Here you go.

If they spot you early, you probably don't have enough speed, so-
-crouch+jump (more time to gain speed).
-hold forward during the last part (more speed).

Oh jeeze you did that one pretty quick didn't you? Man I would love to do an eight on one (8 vs. 1) match vs. Silb. He'd still probably manage to spinecrush each one of us anyways, damn that's skills. David could set the the difficulty so freaken high, Silb could still beat it with one hand behind his back (I dunno, Silb looks like he's packing 12 fingers already...), that is amazing.

I must say Silb is a lot more skilled in the game than I am. Fair play.
