[[~~Audio_Encoder~~Audio Encoder\|Audio encoding]] uses a number of [[Windows Media Audio]] version 9.12 or version 10 (if the version 10 codecs are installed) profiles and a Windows Media Audio 9 Voice [[speech codec]]. Content can also be created as uncompressed audio/ or video. ~~This version of~~ Windows Media Encoder 9 enables [[~~Two~~two-~~Pass~~pass ~~Encoding~~encoding]] to optimize quality for ~~[[Video~~ ~~on demand\|~~on-demand]] ([[Streaming media\|streamed]] or download-and-play) content. It also supports ~~"True"~~[[variable ~~Variable Bit Rate~~bitrate]] ([[VBR]]) ~~Encoding~~encoding for download-and-play scenarios. True VBR can be applied over the entire duration of a high-motion sequence, ensuring the highest quality. This version also enables scripted encoding with the wmcmd.vbs [[VBScript]] file, allowing content developers to encode large numbers of ~~pre-recorded~~prerecorded media files. Bundled with the program are the applications Windows Media File Editor, Windows Media Profile Editor, and Windows Media Stream Editor. ~~Windows~~The ~~Media~~GUI ~~Encoder can be downloaded as an application. This~~encoder application is actually a "wrapper" ~~or [[GUI]]~~ of the [[codec\|encoder]] itself. Developers can write their own applications using [[Visual Studio]] to perform the same functions found in the application. These applications can be used to automate audio and video production. An SDK is also available.<ref>[http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=000a16f5-d62b-4303-bb22-f0c0861be25b&DisplayLang=en Windows Media Encoder 9 Series SDK] {{webarchive\|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080411162525/http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=000a16f5-d62b-4303-bb22-f0c0861be25b&displaylang=en \|date=2008-04-11 }}</ref> With the removal of [[Windows Media DRM]] in the [[Windows 10]] Anniversary Update, Windows Media Encoder 9 is no longer compatible with the current version of Windows as of May 2017. ~~The latest Windows Media Encoder 9 Series comes in both [[32-bit]] and [[64-bit]] versions.~~ ==Versions== ==Windows Media Encoder Studio Edition==▼ {{Refimprove-section\|date=June 2013}} Windows Media Encoder Studio Edition [http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/forpros/encoderse/default.aspx] is a related product to Windows Media Encoder.
