Removing WMM would have no impact on other encoding applications, and would
be extraneous to making any progress.
I'm unaware of any ability to plug in third party AVI codecs to WMM. AVI
has kind of become a morass, and most MS apps don't treat it as a primary
format at this point. If 'your favorite tool' encodes to x264-in-AVI,
sounds like you're good. =)
