This version of Windows Media Encoder enables [[Two-Pass Encoding]] to optimize quality for [[Video on demand|on-demand]] ([[Streaming media|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 scripted encoding with the wmcmd.vbs [[VBScript]] file allowing content developers to encode large numbers of pre-recorded media files.

Windows Media Encoder can be downloaded as an application. This application is actually a "wrapper" or [[GUI]] of the [[encoder]] itself. Developers can write [[VisualBasic]]their orown applications using [[CVisual (programming language)|CStudio]] applications which canto perform the same functions found in the application. These applications can be used to automate audio and video production.

The latest Windows Media Encoder 9 Series comes in both [[32-bit]] and [[64-bit]] versions.
