WMNicEnc Update (VC-1 Support)
http://nic.dnsalias.com
Updated WMNicEnc (last update was 3 years ago!) to support modifiying the options of the new VC-1 codec. Should make testing the settings easier than fiddling with the registry. Please let me know of any problems as I haven't had time to test yet. Cheers, -Nic |

Thanks for the feedback I'll try and find a nice compromise. I hope it's working well for people. Now some questions: 1) Couldn't believe it was released 3 years ago....Any word on when Windows Media Format 11 SDK will be released? (if at all) 2) Are there any other Registry settings that might be of some use? A look through the WM DLLs suggests there are others, but maybe they aren't useful/working. Are there similar ones for Audio? 3) One of my colleagues was at a Hi-Def conference this past week and heard mention a couple of times of something called VC-2. Any relation to a future MS product in the works or is he confusing it with something with a similar name? Thanks again, -Nic |

Since your tool modifies registry entries in place, what happens with multiple instances of it running at once with different settings?
What are the prospects of a command line version, for integration into tools like MeGUI? |

Seeing as suggestions are being thrown about the place, I have one. Maybe below the progress bar, there could be a status section detailing what frame is currently being encoded, how long it's taken etc.

The moon on a stick that's what you guys want.....
@Inventive: I'll try and add that in. @berrinam: Sharing registry settings means that multiple versions will have to have the same settings if things are going to run smoothly. I may add some commandline parameters for encoding in the future. -Nic |

Thanks Nic. I was hoping you were going to release a new one of these.

Another cool set of options that you might want to consider supporting are the "Force Encoding Height" and "Force Encoding Width" registry settings. This allows the encoder to encode the video at a smaller resolution than the source, yet decode it at the original source resolution. What's the point of that? For example, if you're a fan of the "field discard" deinterlacing method, you could encode your 640x480 interlaced video as 640x240 progressive (where every other field is discarded), but have the decoder always decode it as 640x480.

Am I doing something wrong....
I was testing a clip,and found that multiple passes + VBR = program disappearing...lol I did set most of the advanced stuff,is there a conflict there somewhere? *EDIT Actually,any setting with VBR involved kills the gui(with all settings default in advanced).

Hi, many thanks for providing the tool! On suggestion would be to make the compressoin settings box resizeable / much more hueger. When browsing through all the settings for something like WMA10, it's nearly impossible to make sense of the hundreds of items in the list as it is
Great tool otherwise, count me in for a CLI version |
