Using Windows Media Encoder, you can source from files with .wma, .wmv, .asf, .avi, .wav, .mpg, .mp3, .bmp, and .jpg file name extensions. (Sourcing from a file with a .mpg file name extension requires a compatible MPEG-2 decoder on the encoding computer.)
If you are encoding a Windows Media file, any header attributes associated with the file (for example, markers, script commands, and so on) are lost in the process. You can use Windows Media File Editor to add the following attributes back to the file: title, author, copyright, and description.
When sourcing from a file, you can trim the start and end times of the file to ensure that you encode only the part of the file you want.
For more information about obtaining an MPEG-2 decoder, see the Microsoft Web site.
