[[Microsoft]] '''Windows Media Encoder''' is a production tool that enables content developers to convert both live and prerecorded audio, video, and computer screen images to Windows Media Format for live and on-demand delivery.

The current version, Windows Media Encoder 9 Series, encodes video using [[Windows Media Video]] version 7, 8 or 9. Audio encoding uses a number of [[Windows Media Audio]] version 9.1 profiles, includingand a WMAWindows Media Audio Voice [[speech codec]], or [[ACELP|ACELP.net]]. Content can also be broadcastcreated as uncompressed audio/video.

This version of Windows Media Encoder enables [[Two-Pass Encoding]] to optimize quality for on-demand (streamed or download-and-play) content. It also supports "True" Variable Bit Rate ([[VBR]]) 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 Batchscripted Encodingencoding ofwith Windowsthe Mediawmcmd.vbs 8,[[VBScript]] file allowing content developers to encode large numbers of pre-recorded media files.
