Using the New Session Wizard to encode
The New Session Wizard walks you through the steps necessary to set up four of the most common encoding scenarios. The four common encoding scenarios are:
- Broadcast a live event. Captures audio or video from devices installed on your computer and then broadcast the content live, either by the stream to a server running Microsoft Windows Media Services or by enabling Windows Media servers and players to the stream directly from the encoder.
- Capture audio or video. Captures audio or video from devices installed on your computer and then convert the captured content to a Windows Media file for later distribution.
- Convert file. Converts an audio or video file to Windows Media Format for later distribution.
- Capture screen. Captures screen images, including mouse pointer movements, on the computer. You can capture the entire screen, a region of the screen, or a specific window.
To change session properties, you can either run the New Session Wizard again or use the Properties panel to edit your settings. If you plan to reuse the session, save your settings in a session file.
Note
- To open the New Session Wizard, on the toolbar, click New Session, and then click one of the four wizards. You can use Custom session to set up a custom encoding session.
