3.0 out of 5 stars Bad video quality, WMA, August 16, 2011
This review is from: NewsRadio Season 1 (Amazon Instant Video)
Much cheaper than itunes but video quality sucks. Instead of using the standard MP4 format, Amazon uses Microsoft's proprietary Windows Media File (.WMA) UNFORGIVABLE! Also, Amazon's Unbox player is clunky and even more bugy than itunes. Somewhere, someone has got to be doing this right.
