Windows media encoder Library cannnot be created

Question

I have an application that records video from webcam. It works on my 64-bit window, but this doesn't work in 32-bit version.

Actually I just try to initiate an WME Object from this below statement. But it seems not work. When I try to do debugging, it cannot detect any exceptions and it just terminate the debugging process.

WMEncoder Encoder = new WMEncoder();

So I am confuse now, is the problem caused by the version that I used does not support for window 32bit?

any helps would be appreciated. thanks

Try targeting x86 instead of Any CPU in the properties of your .NET project. IIRC Windows Media Encoder is a native 32 bit component.
