windows media encoder
Windows media encoder is a multimedia software by Microsoft which is known for it's main functions of converting and capturing either live, or prerecorded media formats which include audio, video and images. Previously, Netshow encoder was used which was later replaced by Windows media encoder. Netshow encoder may still be available at some places on the internet and/or old CD's.
There have been many versions of the Windows encoder ever since it came out, the latest one being Windows media encoder 9. Windows media video versions 7, 8 and 9 are used to encode video and the audio encoding is done by various windows media audio versions including 9.2 and 10. Media is/can be created in both 32 or 64 bit versions and can also be created in uncompressed audio or video formats.
The 9th and latest version of Windows media encoder, instead of just CBR and single pass encoding also supports two-pass encoding which used the variable bitrate theory. VBR (Variable bitrate ) is to optimize the quality and it's main purpose is the download and play functionality. VBR is used to ensure the highest quality.
If purchased legally, Microsoft Windows media encoder comes along with a bundle which includes Media file editor, media profile editor, and media stream editor as bonus softwares. A free/trial version of the encoder is available at Microsoft's official website for download. However, like all other softwares around the world, full versions of the Windows media encoder can easily be found on torrent hosting sites and/or other media/file sharing sites. But these methods are applied at the users own risk as piracy of softwares is strictly a crime throughout the world.
