WMV9 VCM: Compress to WMV9 in legacy applications!

rbV5

Lifer
This Video Compression Manager (VCM) based version of the Windows Media Video 9 encoder/decoder will enable legacy encoding and editing applications to support the Windows Media Video 9 codec in file containers such as AVI. The package also enables Windows Media Video 9 to be played back in Windows Media Player 6.4

The Windows Media Audio and Video 9 Series codecs offer the best experience when delivered using the ASF file container. To offer the flexibility our customers have asked for, new licensing terms allow for these codecs to be used in other file containers as well.

Once installed, legacy solutions will automatically be able to use the codec via the VCM interface. The VCM includes a property page so that users can set encoding parameters.

Cool, it only took MS four years to realize they made a mistake -one that gave birth to hacks, DivX ;-) and ultimately DivX Networks and the success of MPEG-4, rather than their various and convoluted proprietary container and decoder schemes.

Anyhoo, thanks for the heads up!
