Viewing statistics

Windows Media Encoder provides a variety of statistics to help you assess the effectiveness of your encoding. These statistics are useful when trying to track the effect of changes to codecs and bit rate settings so you can get the best rendering of content. Also, if you use multiple bit rate video, you can view and compare statistics from the available video streams.

The statistics available are:

• ASF statistics. Includes the amount of data sent, the amount of padding sent, and the bit rate used to transmit the data.
• Audio statistics. Includes the amount of data sent and the bit rate used to transmit the data.
• Script commands. Provides a measure of the number of bytes of script commands sent and how many commands that represents.
• Video statistics. Provides a measure of the amount of data sent and the amount of data lost. Provides summary statistics of the bit rate and number of frames per second transmitted.
• Current connections. Displays the IP address of computers currently connected to the encoder.
