Understanding Windows Media Encoder

For any media content producer that is working with audio and video content, the Microsoft free Windows Media Encoder is a must-have tool for capturing and converting media content. Although the Windows Media server can be used to capture and publish video files, it’s unlikely that a content producer will want to travel around with a media server everywhere. Instead, you can download Windows Media Encoder and install it on Windows Server 2008, Windows Vista, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, or Windows 2000 Server. Either the 32-bit or 64-bit edition can be downloaded and installed.
