This article was previously published under Q266719



SYMPTOMS
The following scenarios are not supported under the current release of the Windows Media Encoder:


 * Capturing live to an uncompressed file with DeInterlacing enabled
 * Capturing live to an uncompressed file with Inverse Telecine enabled
 * Converting from a WMV or ASF file with DeInterlacing enabled
 * Converting from a WMV or ASF file with Inverse Telecine enabled



CAUSE
Capturing to an uncompressed file using the DeInterlacing and Inverse Telecine features is currently not supported by the Windows Media Encoder and the Encoder SDK.

Transcoding (converting) with these features is not possible because the current ASF version 1 standard does not include the required information, such as frames per second (FPS) in the header of the file. The DeInterlacing and Inverse Telecine features require this information as part of the algorithm. If they do not have the proper FPS, the Windows Media Encoder sends an error message.



WORKAROUND
If you want to use the advanced features mentioned in this article, Microsoft recommends that you enable the DeInterlacing and/or Inverse Telecine options when you capture to a compressed WMV or ASF file.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in Microsoft Windows Media Encoder version 7.0.
