Additional WMV encoders / muxers

WMV Muxer/Encoder by DVBPortal - A simple WMV muxer and encoder useful for muxing VC-1 streams into ASF without recompressing. Encoder feature requires .prx profiles which can be customized using the WM Profile Editor from the WME9 package.

WMNicEnc - Nic’s WMV encoder takes Avisynth input only and supports all the advanced encoding settings of VC-1. Small, easy and effective.

Lecturing about Expression Encoder...

Hi,

again I was selected speaker for MS community on field of digital media.
http://kulendayz.mscommunity.net/

This was level 400 session, short introduction to Expression Encoder and then in depth voyage of VC-1 codec with optimizations techniques.

But :(, actually there aren't many listeners capable of of this level, not that they wouldn't understand, but they just don't need that level of in depth session.

So yes, once again, I had to go higher, higher :).

Microsoft should give me t-shirt of their Evangelist team :), because I spend so much time preaching about benefits of Windows Media, trough last six or seven years I was selected speaker for MS Media technologies :)

Just in case, my size is XL :)

Low lattency WM streaming

http://www.on10.net/blogs/benwagg/Low-Latency-webcasting-with-Windows-Media-and-Siverlight/

Of course, Ben Waggoner is answering to this one.
I would like to add just one little addition, it is possible to acquire even shorter latencies with techniques used in ConferenceXP product.

Source codes and executable of ConferenceXP are available at MS Research web.

We have gained 300ms latencies, using our encoders and players build on top of WMF.
