I've been playing with the Windows Media Encoder for the last couple days, and it does create WM output, but I still havn't found the optimum settings for the best appearance and smoothest playback. It's really easy to use, 'till you get to the part where you pick the encoding engine ... if that's the correct term. This sets the vid size, bandwidth, audio etc to your specs.
Check out the other threads about "choppy video" "Movies" etc., as this has been an on-going topic lately.
This encoder did wonders for some huge audio files of mine, converting a 30 meg mp3 to 11.5 meg wma, and it still sounds good.
My attempts at getting mpg files reduced either yield good clarity w/ 6-8 fps playback, or 15- 20 fps with an image that is so j-peged that it isn't worth watching. Mind you, this is playback using WMP, so it's not the best player available.
I'm going to be starting to resample clips to mpg this weekend with another encoder.
