Steve,
Motherboard sound chips will handle basic audio adequately but even though
they may claim HD or "high def" audio, they are still mass produced to a
price.
I suggest that you go to

Why not just convert this MP4 video to another video format with your
audio/video converter program? Like WMV or whaterver but note WMV will be a
much bigger file size and plays in Windows Media Player. If you convert it
to WMV simply right click the file and choose open with WMP Player. Or firs

I would avoid messing with video converters if possible. You may indeed get
a much bigger file and the quality may in fact be worse. You're probably
just better off using vlc if you absolutely can't get winamp to play this
filetype.

The Dell XPS 8700 purchase was two years in the making. I had a

about new technology that would be the next generation of innovation

One consideration, at least in Winamp, is that if you want to go 45 minutes
into a variable bit file, the time accuracy can't be trusted. I'm not sure
how much of an audible difference exists.
