Hello,
Firstly, wma is Windows Media Audio. asf (Active Streaming Format), or WMV is
for Video.
The Windows Media Encoder 8 is for windows only, however there are other
codecs like MPEG-4 that will offer the same quality/size bounds. WMV is also
notorious for editing problems, once it is WMV you're basically stuck to that
format, unless you use programs like VirtualDub.
Cinelerra at www.heroinevirtual.com is 10MB, it plays movies, edits movies
and will encode them. (IMHO, worth the download even on dialup).
Of course, in windows there is AIST MovieXone (free cutdown version), Adobe
Premiere etc.
