Windows Media Encoder 9: Video Stream Ends Before Other Media Streams (813341)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Windows Media Encoder 9 Series

SYMPTOMS

When you play back a movie that you recorded by using Windows Media Encoder 9, the video or the audio stream may end before the other the media stream has ended.

CAUSE

This issue may occur if you stop Windows Media Encoder 9 before the transcoding from one file to another file is complete.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this issue, let the transcoding from one file to the other file finish completely. The file that has finished completely is now synchronized and can be edited to a shorter length through any video editing software.

MORE INFORMATION

When Windows Media Encoder 9 performs a file to file transcode, it does so in an unsynchronized mode. This means that one media stream may lag behind other media streams, then the stream that is behind catches up with the other streams. The difference between two streams can be as much as three seconds.
