Q. Does Expression Encoder replace Windows Encoder? A. The two products serve different purposes. Windows Media Encoder continues to be a freely available solution for encoding video for live and on-demand scenarios. Expression Encoder 2 is purpose built to enable you to produce rich interactive Silverlight Media Experiences. Expression Encoder 2 also uses the newest VC-1 SDK for better Windows Media quality and faster encoding that the previous technology used by the Windows Media Encoder.
