Custom WM profile - issues with codec

Question

I create my custom WM encoder profile. The reason I need a custom, non standard WM profile is that I need that the video resolution must be the same as input video stream. I created below profile but after I encode my video and audio with it, the WMP while loading says that the WMV1 codec is not found and prompts me for downloading WM encoder codecs. After installing them, the problem still exists.

Answer 1

the ability to handle 0,0,0,0 (or any other video size) depends on the encoding. WMV7 and WMV9 should support it though. Use WME9 to export a profile that has "same as input" checked in video options and compare it to your profile..

Answer 2

That guid for your media subtype is incorrect: 31564D57-0000-0010-8000-00AA00389B71 is Windows Media 7 (aka WMV1).

Install Windows Media Encoder 9. It comes with a profile editor, so all you have to do is double click on the .prx file, or load it up and create a new profile.
