Yeah, I saw it too, got all excited and opened Compressor, and….no, there aren’t any export options for WMV. Maybe someone can clarify how this is done.

Flip4Mac makes a plug-in for Compressor called Episode.
I saw it at NAB. It’s a great solutiom for WMV or Flash using Compressor.
The downside is the pricing is steep, too steep for me.You can read about it here: https://flip4mac.com/
Pay close attention to all of the different versions and capabilities to find what you really need. Batch processing is only available in the most expensive versions.

Its a part of QuickTime – not a separate export option in itself.
So look under ‘QuickTime Export Components’ and set the ‘Encoder Type’ as ‘Windows Media’
select ‘Options’ to access the settings.
Be careful about which version of Flip4Mac you have – they don’t all do large size SD frame sizes…
enjoy – its brill!

Flip4Mac makes the Quicktime export component for Windows Media as well as a full-featured encoding program called Episode. Once you buy and install one of the above (choose based on needed features) you can duplicate an existing Quicktime preset in Compressor and modify it to do Windows Media. Export capability can be had from $50 on up. The export component enables Compressor and Quicktime Pro for Win Media encoding. As someone else stated, change the File Format to “Quicktime Export Component” and then adjust the settings to taste. Ben Waggoner’s book gives some insight on how to get decent results. Check him out in the Compression Techniques forum. If you want more encoding features, look at Episode.

I stated that “Its a part of QuickTime – not a separate export option in itself.”
In case you’re not aware, this means that you can make WMV files from anything that uses QuickTime, including of course, QuickTime itself (File.Export), and Final Cut.
You don’t HAVE to use Compressor only to make WMVs.Neil.
