How come you didn't notice Japan has some weird preference for WMV?
@alyx Does it? I've seen quite a lot of WMV in the west too
@alyx Isn't it just old JAV that they didn't reencode? All the new ones I've seen are x264.
@matrix
Don't know what old means for you, and I don't exactly keep track of release dates or x264 to wmv ratios, I just know that wmv has lasted far too long, and I keep stumbling upon it in this niche use case.
@alyx I dunno, like 2004-2014. When pirating older western porn you will find a lot of WMVs too.
@alyx Never mind, just found a 2018 JAV in WMV. I guess you are right

And I haven't seen it as a one-off, every now and then. I see it used often.
