Using the Windows Media version 9 video
codec with MediaExport
Although Matrox MediaExport supports the Windows Media version 9 video
codec, all of the Windows Media standard encoding profiles use the Windows
Media version 8 video codec. To use the version 9 video codec to encode your
video, you can customize a standard encoding profile by selecting the version 9
video codec from the
Codec Options drop-down list. For more information, see
“Modifying standard profile settings to create a customized profile” in the “Using
Matrox MediaExport” chapter of your Matrox RT.X10 Xtra Installation and User
