Editing properties

Once you have created a configuration (.asd) file for Windows Media Encoder, you can make changes to that configuration by editing its property pages. The property pages available differ depending on whether you use a template stream format (TSF) or a custom configuration.

The properties available when using TSFs are:

Template. Controls which TSF is used by the .asd file.
Input. Controls the source of the content; either Live or an AVI/WAV/MP3 file.
Output. Controls where the .asf file or ASF stream is sent, either to a Windows Media server, a local .asf file, or both.

The properties available when using a custom configuration are:

Input. Controls the source of the content; either Live or an AVI/WAV/MP3 file.
Bandwidth. Controls the bandwidth at which the content streams.
Compression. Controls the audio and video codecs used to compress the content. Also provides access to advanced settings for audio loss concealment and for image size, number of frames per second, number of seconds per I-frame, pixel format, delay buffer, and image quality.
Output. Controls where the .asf file or ASF stream is sent, either to a Windows Media server, a local ASF file, or both.

Note

If your source is an .mp3 file with ID3 properties, those properties will be preserved in an .asf file. These properties can be edited using Windows Media ASF Indexer.
