Thanks for the response, and sorry I took so long to respond myself.

I’m using:
-Squeeze 4 (and I just tried again with 4.3, same results)
-Windows Media Player 9 and 10, with “Choose Connection Speed” set to different settings to test the different bit rates.
-Windows Media Services 9 Series

I have no problem encoding an MBR file using Windows Media Encoder, but when I try to set up a similar profile in Squeeze, the lowest bitrate just runs like crap (0.2 fps according to WM statistics).

If it helps, my profile is as follows:

Windows Media MBR Custom Preset

Audio2: 32 kbps, 16, 44100, mono
