New in the Encoder Version 6.0
A lot of new features have been added to the new version of the Standard MPEG Encoder.
New Encoding Formats
Flash Video
MPEG-2 Transport Stream / DVB
Quicktime Media
Real Media
MP4 iPhone Audio/Video
MP4 iPod/iPod Nano
MPEG-2 HiDef/Blue Ray
Support for new Platforms
C#/VB/.NET users can now use the DirectAccess approach to encoding (encode without any need for DirectShow). C# users should check out the DirectAccess C# Sample in the SDK. Additionally, there is a new Borland C++ Builder Sample.
Improved Documentation
Our new intern has been working hard on fixing the documentation, and we expect to have a lot more documentation very soon. We also are going to be adding a bunch of new samples over the next weeks.
Expanded video capture support
A lot of improvements in real time encoding, particular with video capture. Faster software rescale, with both quality and speed improvements.
No more dependencies on the Visual Studio runtimes
All encoder dlls are now statically compiled, so there is no need for any runtime libraries on any platform from Windows 2000.
Only two redistributable files
The entire encoder is made up of only two files with no external dependencies - erdmpg-6.dll and DirectEncode.dll. Erdmpg-6 is the dll with the encoder functions and DirectEncode is the DirectShow filter.
