Embedded Profiles in WME Files (268609)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows Media Encoder 7
- Microsoft Windows Media Encoder 7.1
This article was previously published under Q268609 SYMPTOMS
When you save a .wme file in the Windows Media Encoder, a copy of the profile is automatically saved in this file. You can then transfer and load this .wme file to another computer that is running the Encoder. If the profile does not exist on the target computer, the Encoder automatically uses the one that is stored in the .wme file. The title of the profile in the monitor window appears as "(Session)."
CAUSE
If you create a new profile with the same name as the one that is stored in the .wme file, the Encoder determines that the embedded profile is no longer embedded, and does not display "(Session)." However, when you are encoding, the Encoder still uses the embedded profile's configuration, instead of the new profile.
RESOLUTION
When you save the new profile with the same name that is embedded in the .wme file, close the Encoder, and then reopen the .wme file. The Encoder will then use the profile stored on the computer, instead of the profile stored in the .wme file.
STATUSMicrosoft has confirmed that this is a problem in Microsoft Windows Media Encoder version 7.0. MORE INFORMATION
