Windows Media Encoder

Microsoft® Windows Media™ Encoder 7.1 is an easy-to-use, powerful production tool for converting both live and prerecorded audio and video to Windows Media Format. With Windows Media Encoder, you can deliver live content in real time to client computers or to a file for later use. Real-time sources of audio and video content include anything that you can plug into your audio or video card, including a CD player, microphone, VCR, video camera, or video player. Stored sources are audio or video files. Users can view encoded Windows Media-based content with Microsoft Windows Media Player or with any application built using the Windows Media Format 7.1 Software Development Kit (SDK).

The following sections introduce conceptual information about the encoding process and provide steps for using Windows Media Encoder.
