ok i'm at my wit's end, nothing I do will get Windows Media Encoder 7 to work on my computer which is a pretty new machine with plenty of horsepower. The Windows Media newsgroups are a ghost town and the Microsoft serfs ignored my questions.
Nobody on any of the boards on the good digital video sites has been much help either. So I have given up, I can't convert avi's or mpeg's into 256kbps streams on this computer using Microsoft's own encoder.

So the question is what other video conversion tool software should i try to convert to Windows Media format streams?

Also, what is the 'size difference' between a good quality WMV file
and a good quality MPEG file ......might as well add a DivX file too.

So if a decent looking 320x240 300kbps file in WMV format is 2-3
MB per minute of video...............what is the size in MB's of a similar quality stream in MPEG and DivX.

People seem to think MPEG is superior to anything, which it is but
you can also save streams in MPEG format that are horrible looking in much the same way that a JPEG with almost no compression looks great but a JPEG with 20% comression looks like shit.

Thank you
