A new way to get the full version of Expression Encoder 3

Hi, please excuse my bad English. I must tell you that the full version for $ 49 is not available in France, except otherwise. Need to use Directshow or other. It’s a pity. I would prefer really buy the full version of expression encoder. But how?

On the other hand, the .WTV generated by MédiaCenter with some French TV is recognized (audio + video) by the Médiaplayer content in Windows but not by the Médiaplayer element available in Expression Encoder Toolbox. The sound is not recognized, it would seem that the E - AC3 codec is not recognized. Should be available to the Médiaplayer that works.

Much, I would like to have answers. Thank you in advance.

Hi,

I develop Silverlight 2 solutions with Expression Blend 2.

Is it compatible to install the Encoder 3 standalone version next to Blend 2 ?

Best regards,

I downloaded and installed the trial version of Expression Studio 3

I later purchased just Expression Web 3 upgrade which includes Expression Encoder 3 (upgrade from EW 2)

Encoder 3 still gives me the "this functionality is only available in the full version of encoder" Advice?

To answer my own question:

I installed the encoder trial, generated the error message above and jotted down the link it contains.

Here I indeed could purchase the encoder, as advertised:

the link is: http://store.microsoft.com/microsoft/Expression-Encoder-3/product/CE462F49/?WT.mc_id=encodersite

have fun,

DirectShow codecs like FFDShow and AC3Filter are supported in both the free and full version of Expression Encoder. You can even control which is being used by enabling/disabling them in the Options->Compatilibity dialog.

But does it use other installed filters from DirectShow instead of its own filters? If I install ffdshow or AC3filter, at least it should support decoding using those. ffdshow is so popular. And no codec licensing cost upfront to MS. Please support decoding using this way if it doesn't already.

Great news, but could you purchase a direct link to the purchase page? I seem to be getting entangled here: http://www.microsoft.com/expression/products/Purchase.aspx#PageTop

Thanks,
