* Uses Windows Media Encoder as a base, so it'll create 100% Microsoft compliant WMV's
* Automatic re-scaling of video sizes to match your TV resolution or Zune screen. This prevents nasty stretching and artifacts
* Encode as WMV8, WMV9 or ultra high quality WVC1
* Encode with CBR (1 or 2 pass), Quality based VBR, Peak based VBR or Bitrate based VBR
* Predefined bitrate options to best match your output device and network connection
* Folder monitoring mode - great for automatically encoding your freshly downloaded torrents
* Postview, so you can quickly see the quality of your encode, or if subtitles are being encoded correctly

The catch is there are some (also free) prerequisites to use it. This means its not a download-install-use service, you have to do some things by yourself:

- You need to have .NET Framework 2.0 installed. Get it here:
.NET Framework 2.0
- You need to have Windows Media Player 11 installed. Get it here: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/download/default.aspx
- And most importantly, you need Windows Media Encoder 9, from here: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/forpros/encoder/default.mspx
- I recommend you uninstall ALL codecs, then install K-Lite Full Codec Pack from here: http://www.free-codecs.com/K_Lite_Codec_Pack_download.htm
- During the K-Lite install, pick CoreAAC for AAC decoding. Otherwise you'll probably have problems decoding files with AAC audio streams. I also untick Windows Media Player Classic as I don't use this, but that's up to you.
