'''Windows Media Encoder''' is a freely downloadable trial version [[Multimedia|media]] [[codec|encoder]] developed by [[Microsoft]] which enables content developers to convert or capture both live and prerecorded audio, video, and computer screen images to [[Windows Media]] formats for live and [[Video on demand|on-demand]] delivery. It is the successor of '''NetShow Encoder'''.<ref>http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/ork2000/HA011382331033.aspx</ref> As of October 2010, it is still available for download, but cannot be found in the Microsoft download search index: it has been replaced by a free version of [[Microsoft Expression Encoder]]. The Media 8 Encoding Utility is still listed.

The latest version, Windows Media Encoder 9 Series, can encode video using [[Windows Media Video]] version 7, 8 or 9. [[Audio Encoder|Audio encoding]] uses a number of [[Windows Media Audio]] version 9.2 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. It is available in both [[32-bit]] and [[64-bit]] versions.
