In this tutorial, learn how to install and use Windows Media Encoder on Windows 10.
Let me explain first what is Windows Media Encoder?
Windows Media Encoder is a freeware media encoder that allows you to convert and record both live and prerecorded video and audio. This application encodes videos by using Windows Media Video version 7, 8 or 9. Regarding audio, this tool uses Windows Media Audio version 9.2 or version 10. Keep in mind that using version 10 requires special codecs to be installed.
Windows Media Encoder supports two-pass encoding in order to enhance the quality for on-demand content. Another useful feature of this application is variable bitrate that can be used for high-motion sequences in order to ensure the highest quality. This application supports scripted encoding with wmcmd.vbs VBScript file, hence allowing you to encode large number of media files.
