Weeks? Weeks!?

Way to get us all excited, then pull out the rug.

I want this awesomeness now!

Encoder SDK support for live encoding and PowerShell support is awsome!

Will the free redistributable of EE3 support live encoding?

Will LIVE stmooth streaming be supported?

Wow! I'm looking forward to this. I tried the demo of SL3 smooth streaming today and it was really impressive.

We are interested in changing from our current Silverlight player by JW Player to either a custom version or an edited version of a template via Expression Encoder.

Our site webcasts college sports and we are interested in embedding the score summary (score and time or pitch count). The source is xml output from Stat Crew and we would like it to show up in the information pane both during live and archived play. For archive play, we would like the data to be coordinated with the time position of the video.

Last, we would like to stream live to iPhones using the H 264 standard. Will the new encoder produce both a Windows for Silverlight and an H 264 for iPhone simultaneously? Can both formats be streamed through a single publishing point on Windows 2003 servers?

Our season starts in August, so we are anxious to implement these changes as soon as possible.

Our viewers, parents and alumni, have been very positive regarding our upgrade from the Windows player to Silverlight.

Please write me at dj@collegetvticket.com or call at 214-363-9595. We would appreciate any assistance or direction you can provide.

Sincerely,

Dennis Jacobs

Ok, where are the users in all this?

I have hours of home video which deserves no lesser treatment than to be stored in this high quality H.264 goodness.

Where is that support?! Not in Windows 7, not in Live Movie Maker not anywhere, but maybe on Mac...

Get with the times and give the encoder for free to all!

While it is miles ahead of Adobe Media Encoder, if you really want to always improve performance, take a look at Mainconcept's H.264 encoder product (now discontinued) to see how fast it used to encode H.264 High profile CABAC!!

Does 3.0 also have the Express mode and is the MPEG-2 decoder included in the DreamSpark version this time?

What codec does it use for screen capture? WMV screen codec?

While this is all good, I have to point out that multi channel encoding IS already available in Expression 2, either by SDK or by placing a WM Profile into the Expression profiles folder (however uneditable by the application). I have been doing it this way for months and it works perfectly fine, I have never had a single issue.

The performance increase is a great addition, but what you really need to reach that extra level is to add GPU accelerated encoding/decoding. Much like Badaboom, PowerCinema and I believe Nero have added, using Nvidia's CUDA and ATI's equivalent, Stream I think. The performance gains all of the other encoders have shown with GPU acceleration is massive over multicore processing, as this is the benefit of a stream processor.

Sorry my bad. I hadn't read about the codec part in the Expression Screen Capture section.

Great news on the Expression Encoder 3 features and capabilities. Eagerly awaiting release and more details on the SDK and OM for EE, but wondering if anyone has any details about "Live Smooth Streaming" capabilities...

-Will this capability be included in the retail version of the EE3 ?

-In the SDK and redistributable version of EE ?

Sincerely,

Come on guys,

Give us more info if we'll be able to make Live Smooth Stream in Encoder 3!!!!!!!!!

re: What’s new in Expression Encoder 3

James Clarke — Fri, 17 Jul 2009 22:07:24 GMT

Thanks for all the great comments. Sorry for the delay in replying we are super busy trying to get this thing done.

CoderX: Sorry for the delay. not much longer to wait :-)

hdpcpro: Yes regarding Live. No Live Smooth Streaming this time around.

Adi R: We definately get the message that our users want more of Encoder's functionality to be free. A lot more will be free this time round although some CODECs are harder than others due to royalty obligations.

Someone: we are looking at multiple ways of improving performance further going forwards :-)

anonymuos: We will be announcing the specifics around that shortly but see remarks about CODECs above.

Dennis Jacobs: I'll respond seperately in email

xsictransitx: We are definately aware of all the GPU goodness not just CUDA but also DX11 compute shaders. Performance is always close to the top of the list.

Alzan: We hear the desire for live smooth streaming. We are investigating this but have nothing to announce right now

re: What’s new in Expression Encoder 3

hdpcpro — Sat, 18 Jul 2009 08:05:51 GMT

Live Smooth Streaming with Dolby Digital 5.1 and DX11 acceleration - yes, please!

Will the live SDK support sending script commands like the WME SDK does?

Hey, is it possible to combine screen capture with DLNA so that I can push my PC screen capture as a DLNA media playback to any DLNA client (rendering) device such as a modern LCD TV ?

For the receiving DLNA device, I'm only doing a video playback (of perhaps a well-known video file).

For me, it is a way to run all my PC applications on the TV screen. Note that DLNA on my TV normally only allows me access to media content of my PC. But there's no way I can get non media content (such as ppts or xls).

So, the knight in the silver(light?) armor comes along - encodes the screen as a DLNA media object and pushes it to a TV using "Play To". My TV is interrupted with the Play to, I accept the "play to" interrupt using the TV remote and bing - we're on the screen!

No messy cables - no connector jargon, no connector $$ (Is CVBS better than S Video? Should I skip a holiday to afford a HDMI cable? Now what's DVI?)

Most TVs come with DLNA and ethernet. Let's use it with good old ethernet cables.

One thing you've neglected to mention:

How has the quality of VC-1 output improved? I'm mostly concerned with offline, non-realtime output.

Also, how soon is Expression Encoder 3 coming to DreamSpark? I heard late August is the goal.

Awesome. Wondering where I can find a list of capture hardware tested with Encoder please.

I'm using Expression 2 SP 1 , should I down load expression 3 ?

Thanks,

I'm using Expression Encoder 3 and I published some videos. It's work find to me, but doesn't work in my boss's calc :( It gives Win32 Unhandled exception.

It's codec problem? Or any idea?

Thanks.

re: What’s new in Expression Encoder 3

Mauser — Tue, 18 Aug 2009 19:52:00 GMT

Hello! I'm here again.

I made the videos in standard sizes, so the streaming is working fine, but after I tried to get offline, the streaming everything is crashing... the streaming too. Gives me: Could not open medai file http://... AG_E_INVALID_ARGUMENT

If you have idea please share with me.

Thanks,

Is there any way you could put Expression Encoder 2 back up? The loss of encoder.exe has broken a couple of Codeplex apps, and without the ability to gain access to 2, there's no way to make these work.
