Thanks very much for your help, Mike-- I'm taking a look at the utility
now,
and I'm wondering, is there a way to use this or its tools to set a
default
size/bit rate, that will be used for WMV encoding in all other
applications
at the default for that codec or just when using this utility's encoder.

Thanks in advance.

Try downloading the Windows Media 9 Encoder from here:

This will give you all the tweaking ability you want for WMV content.

I want to re-encode some video into WMV format from my VHS tapes and
various
sources, however when I try to re-encode the video from other sources,
I even
tested re-encoding a wmv into a wmv, the files come out huge, and my
130MB
wmv file re-encoding into a 260mb video file. The program has no
options to
adjust the compression for the WMV codec, but offers options if I want
to use
the MPEG-4 codec, which must be purchased separately.

So my question is, what governs the WMV codec and the
compression/quality
level, and how do I access it? Is there a program I need to download
or can
it not be accessed? Thank you.
