    Media Center Extender v1 compatibility

    Wonderful tool - simple, works!  Only tool I have found that will convert an ATSC broadcast iwth 5.1 AC3 to stereo WMV without a hitch.  Fast too.  And the commercial skipping is great. 

    Now for my issue - I was hoping this would be my answer for transcoding ATSC dvr-ms with 5.1 AC3 content to a media center extender v1 compatible format, but alas, the files will not play on the extender and after checking the FAQ it mentions the WMV format is WMV2, not WMV9 (WMV2 is not v1 extender compatible).

    So I'm curious - why WMV2 - is this an ancient format (i.e., why not go with WMV7 or WMV8) or is this just an oddness of version numbering and its a more recent format version than the 2 would seem to indicate?  Any plans to implement WMV9?  I didn't see any mention in the future releases column. 

    Many thanks for the great work.  Joe

    Do a search on this site for WMV3/WM9/VC-1 and you will find numerous explainations from me on this one.  I'd love a solution to the problem myself.
