windows media encoder

http://www.microsoft.com/windows/window ... fault.mspx
I was told by a prospective hosting service rep to get this software if want to offer progressive or streaming dl's of very large vid files. so I did, and have tried converting a clean, previously uncompressed avi in what seems like every possible configuration, and... they all turn out at best looking like I just pooped them outta windows movie maker.
ordinarily at this point I would just say to hell with that idea, if I hadn't seen the quality of the Durden wmv on this site

any insights?

atm I have magix edit pro 10, adobe after effects 7, xilisoft, vdub and wmm to work with

I can always ask Durden how he did it. He wont mind I'm sure. He may even post on here if I can persuade him to register.

thx WT, that would be great. imo the Durden wmv is the #1 mystery in the frag vid universe atm

I'm still working on mine! ;);)

And I'm working on mine. Hopefully it won't be mysterious, though.

As I told Gas the other night, this is the third time I've started over on my frag video, because when I watch that compared to my new material, I just look like a scrub. I'm still not that phenomenal, but I'm getting better quickly enough that I laugh at my old stuff. =)

due diligence if you please mr. noir

update: now getting much better quality wmv's, but nothing close to the durden effort.
thinking the wmv plugin for premiere must have been used.. which would count me out for now. be sticking with xvid avi's for the time being.

looking forward to your new vid icbat. I've recommended your gravnade tut with confidence elsewhere
imo gravnade, fastball and at least some level of bhop are essential to keep from gettin steamrolled these days

on a side note, windows media encoder has a handy little capture option..
