Actually copying in the multimedia mailing list correctly this time. Note: this mailing list is open to the public, and any emails you send to it will be publicly archived forever at https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/multimedia . This is standard fare for Wikimedians, but the Microsoft people on this thread may not be used to this.
