Changing the "Author" on WMV Files
 

Is there any quick way to change the author setting that's embedded within the movie without re-encoding?

I've only ever really fucked with mpgs until just a few days ago, wmvs are a whole new game for me.

windows media utilities

could just use window movie maker, open the file change it and save

Cool, haven't used that yet, been using Vegas 4, amazing program but not sure if you can do it anywhere in there.

Use the Windows Media File Editor
I think that one has such an option
