Windows to up the ante on EncodingPosted by camthecameraman in WMV, Windows, H264, Encoding |

Just finished reading this article about Microsofts plans for Windows 7, the update to Windows Vista due ......well whenever they get around to it.
Interesting the supported formats that the new windows will bring, it will hopefully simplfy the playback and encoding of video, removing the need for lots of individual programs like virtualdub, windows media encoder, quicktime pro etc etc.
It would also seem to be a bit of a snub to the movie industry that has always seemed to dictate Microsofts decisions on these matters. The movie industry HATES transcoding and Microsoft is going to make it easier. Maybe with the release of Windows 7 my Mum will be able to copy videos on to her iPod without having to give me a call!!
