Microsoft Expression Encoder
3
Official Website & Download
(Free Trial, 162GBP)
Microsoft's forefront
professional level Encoding
software, Expression Encoder
3 features an expansive
range of customisable
options to let you get the
exact results you want, as
well as a large range or
predefined profiles,
including 5 especially for
Zune!
It also throws in publishing
to the web, player
templates, podcasting
encoding, video splicing,
Live encoding, and a real
time view showing how your
changes will effect the
final video's quality.
It all might seem a bit
intimidating at first, but
for enthusiasts and hardcore
videophiles, this quite
simply is the most powerful
option out there.

Windows Live Movie Maker
Official Website & Download
(Free)
Microsoft's new attempt
at simplifying Movie Making
for a new web focused era
may seem sparse and
relatively featureless at
the moment (which, it is.
Well it is a BETA after
all...), but that just means
its the most simple to use
and straightforward video
encoder for Zune targeted
videos.
There aren't many options
and there are no
configurable parameters
outside the 2 default
profiles, and videos can
only be encoded in WMV
format, but for those
looking to get things done
as easily as possible with
no frills, look no further!
Recommended for beginners!
