Q: Compressor 4.2 removed Windows Media?

I'm trying to output WMV videos. I go and create the custom preset, use the QuickTime Export Components but Windows Media does not turn up in the Encoder Type. Did Compressor remove it altogether? Is there a way that I can add it back in?

I have already tried reinstalling Compressor with no changes.

iMac (27-inch, Late 2013), OS X Yosemite (10.10.3)

A:

WMV doesn't come with Compressor. It's available as an additional component from Telestream.

I'm not at my computer. Perhaps Telestream has an update?

I'm not familiar with Telestream but I did take a look at their site, I'm not entirely sure what I should be looking for?

I'm back at my computer and the component is available and works here. Look in the root Library/QuickTime to see whether the components are in that folder.

I purchased the software and it worked! Now I need to figure out all of the settings, but very cool. Thank you.
