Encoding into multiple bit rates "janefield2002[ at ]yahoo.com" <janefield2002[ at ]yahoo.com> 22.06.2007 09:16:34 Hi there, I have a windows media encoder that is programmatically called and records shows in .wmv format. However, I want to configure the encoder to save the video into *2* .wmv files - one high quality and one low quality. Is this possible to achieve? Thanks!

No, instead you would create a single WMV which is a MBR (multiple bitrate file). You can then split that file into its consituent streams, using the windows media stream editor (part of the WME installed utilities) - or programatically after encoding I believe you can do that too.
