    Which Windows Media Codec Is The Best Quality?


    Hi Guys, I'm screen capturing a video on my PAC and the program I'm using, Ashampoo Snap 4, is giving me six video codecs to choose from. they are:

    Windows Media Video 7
    Windows Media Video 8
    Windows Media Video 9
    Windows Media Video 9 Screen
    Windows Media Video 9 VCI
    Microsoft Video 1

    Does anyone know which one is the best quality?

    Thanks all.

    You can choose WMV 9 as the quality of video is good . Windows Media Encoder 9 Series enables two-pass encoding to optimize quality for on-demand (streamed or download-and-play) content. It also supports variable bitrate (VBR) encoding for download-and-play scenarios.

    Hope this helps. :)
