I will, but it is not possible to have a predefined profile for every use. The ones you mentioned however, seem to be popular. The idea is to create custom profiles as needed. You can create them by deriving from one of the predefined. Use the profile editor that comes with WME9 or a text editor.

It's not always an easy task, expecially if the WMV file is protected with MS DRM (very likely).
However ...

Works great, just transcoded a 1080p WMVHD down to
320x240 for a portable WM9 media player. I greated a profile for it: http://home.comcast.net/~tony1717/ENZA.prx Quote:

Is it able to convert a 5.1 AC3 to WMA without crapping out on me like WME9 does, unless i have a very specific AC3 decoder installed (think it was the WinDVD decoder)?
For example, i use Nvidia's PureVideo decoder for DVD playback, but WME9 crashes if i try to convert a 5.1 AC3 to WMA although a 2-channel AC3 works just fine.

@ego
you can use makeAVIS.exe from ffdshow to build a "fake" avi BHH

@Stebet
I had no constant results in encoding 5.1 AC3 to WMA Pro. I am using AC3filter. The Dolby Prologic II downmix always works when encoding to wma2, but the wma pro codec seems to be picky. I am still checking, if something more is needed. If someone has details about this, let me know. @ego I was also going to point to makeAVIS.exe. Anyway I will check what is needed to support avs. |

Hmm, I'm having trouble demuxing and ds copying streams from one container to another. Sometimes it gives me a catastrophic failure, and sometimes it just crashes in qasf.dll. Did you test this on v10 or v11 SDK? I've only tried it on v10 so far.
Also, the profile concept is somewhat confusing. Why is a profile for muxing necessary? Last edited by zambelli; 10th January 2007 at 00:29. |

I did my tests on SDK v11. All AVIs (WMV + AC3) could be multiplexed to WMV. In the first step I demuxed the AC3 audio and ds copied the WMV video to WMV. I then coded the audio in WMA and muxed both streams with the Windows Media Stream Editor.
What sample and what profile caused the crash? Can you give details or samples? The profile is necessary for data, that is not available from the AVI source. If you compare the streams in ASFView from wmvmuxer and other asf muxers, you will see that important objects are missing in the other streams. The missing device conformance templates and codec list objects can cause probs on the Sigma chip, and when streaming and when using other WMV tools. I admit it is unusual to have a profile for muxing and I am thinking of alternatives. |

Here's a file I was trying to demux that caused crashes for me. It's a trailer for a movie, so shouldn't be an issue to share the clip...
http://www.mediafire.com/?7mkoulnz230 Also, screenshot of program before hitting convert: http://img442.imageshack.us/img442/9093/inputxf1.png And of error: http://img77.imageshack.us/img77/774/errorbp6.png As another little bug, I noticed it doesn't handle unicode filenames well. Trying to load Sonim - 후애(後愛).wmv (Mixed Korean and Japanese filename) shows in the log as Failed to load C:\asami\Sonim - ??(後愛).wmv Japanese is my system's default language, so all Japanese and iso-8859-01 filenames load fine, but anything outside of those two doesn't. |
