Windows Media


 * Windows Media Video is a scalable codec from Microsoft. The amount of compression and frame size are determined by the intended “audience”.
 * Detailed Windows Media information
 * You can use the free Windows Media Encoder from Microsoft to leverage much greater control of the encoding process than you can from within Premiere Pro.
 * See the following:
 * Alternates and Audiences options for encoding in the Premiere Pro CS3 Help.
 * “Adobe Media Encoder” and “To specify Windows Media Audiences options” in the Premiere Pro 2.0 Help.
 * “Producing Final Video” and “Alternates and Audiences preset options” in the Premiere Pro 1.x Help.
 * See Microsoft for details of the Windows Media Video and Windows Media Audio formats.
 * Premiere Pro may become unresponsive if you import a .WMV file that has a long duration (on the order of 1.5 hours).
 * See the C:\Program Files\Adobe\Premiere Pro x.x\ReadMe file for important information about Windows Media.

Troubleshooting

 * If you're having trouble exporting to Windows Media format then try the following:
 * Open a command prompt
 * Type CD "c:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Premiere Pro CS3" and press the Enter key, or search for the file "WMencodingHelper.exe" and change to its containing folder.
 * Type WMencodingHelper.exe /regserver and press the Enter key.
