Yup this this the program, but I found links to the NEW beta and was able to download it, it works perfect.
I have always encoding using version 9 with WM for several reasons.
1. The Mac issue, has always been an issue and I knew that some mac users seemed to be able to get it to work, now I know why.
2. MAS- I use MAS to run my members area. I have a feature that will automatically create the thumbs for all my video and all the seperate chopped clips of that video. But only works with version 9 or WMV and below.
Honestly.. I have really started thinking about droping WMV for something more open source like Divx. Sure the surfers have to download the codec, but it's free and it seems to work great. The MOV. format would be something else I would use, since every windows computer I have ever owned has been able to play them. MPeg, It's way to big a file to get good quility video, not the answer. Would like to hear other opinions on this...
