Someone,

Here's the answer from the http://blogs.msdn.com/expressionencoder/ blog"

"One of the benefits of our new implementation is that we capture to a light weight intermediate CODEC, developed by Microsoft Research, rather than attempting to capture and encode directly to VC-1 or H.264."

Time Warner Road Runner Disallows Video File Transfers

Clinton Gallagher — Fri, 17 Jul 2009 19:14:51 GMT

Time Warner Road Runner (Wisconsin) now disallows transferring files larger then 20MB.

This recently caused me to fail to receive technical support from Microsoft as I could not send a screen captured video even when remade into the smallest series of parts required to convey the problem to technical support.

If Microsoft intends to continue to try to earn money selling media software I seriously suggest the company use its considerable clout to bring attention to this matter that the scum companies like Time Warner Road Runner and the other scum cable companies are disallowing people to transder files over the Internet.

Clinton,

Is that video only? Do they allow .ISO images for something like Windows 7 ???

Great to hear that there is a new codec to capture screen.

What is the codec about. Can it be used in DirectShow?

Just watched that fullscreen on 24" 1920x1200 monitor.

When I saw it was just 40MB --- WOW! Very nice product! Any chance of a cheap 'lite' version for consumers?? This seems aimed at business/commercial users.

Peter:

It's free. You can do it for free and the video length is limited to 10 mins, which i think is enough for most cases.

When you say it's free, but limited to 10 mins, does that mean the screen capture utility will continue to function after the main application's time trial has expired or do you just get 10minute recording for the trial period and then you have to buy the full product?

I should not have used the word free. I was told we had a free version but I did not investigate before I used that word. I should have said trial version.

According to the FAQ, the product is limited to 10 minutes of recording, and probably output as well. That is normal for video products because I believe an MPEG royalty kicks in beyond that. It also appears the trial is time bombed. I did not know that when I said free.

If you need additional detail I can probably get the product group to clarify some of this at http://www.microsoft.com/expression/products/Encoder_FAQ.aspx.
