Thanks. I ended up installing the 9.5 SDK.
For the benefit of others in the future, according to this page
("Using the Codec DMOs with DirectShow")
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa391481.aspx
There is *no* native support of this codec for two pass encoding in a
direct show graph. A special wrapper must be built around the
advanced codec to use it with direct show & two pass.
The justification seems to be (by reading the page) that the wmv 9
video advanced codec is really a "dmo" and not innately a direct show
compressor filter - even though the wmv 9 advanced codec is listed
when the operating system is asked to enumerate the direct show video
compressors.
