Dear colleagues,

Is anybody using VirutalDub to compress video materials and does anybody
know what is the legal status of Microsoft Mpeg-4 video codec (as it appears
in VirtualDub)? My question is essentially this: is it legal for me to use
Microsoft Mpeg-4 Video codec that comes with VirtualDub to compress video
materials for use in the language lab at an educational institution?

Any help on this issue would be greatly appreciated.
