Minpacketsize Value in Imported .prx Files Is Not Used (813400)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Windows Media Encoder 9 Series

SYMPTOMS

When you import a profile file (.prx) that has the minpacketsize tag, the resulting output does not honor the minpacketsize value.

CAUSE

Windows Media Encoder filters out the minpacketsize tag information from both .prx and .wme files. If you import a .prx file or if you add the field to a .wme file, the resulting .wmv file packet size is still determined by the Windows Media Encoder SDK default minpacketsize value, not the value that is specified in the .prx file. Windows Media Encoder translates and formats the SDK .prx file to its own profile object. Because Windows Media Encoder does not support the minpacketsize tag in the profile, the value that is specified in the .prx file is lost during the translation process.

Note The actual packet size is calculated during encoding. You can set the maximum packet size by using the Custom setting for the session.
