Note: I am re-asking the question as 2.1 was released
recently, and I can import my files into WMEnc9.
To give you an idea of my starting point/version, I
slipstreamed SP2 into an XP install.
I am capturing video with an ATI AIW Radeon into MPEG2.
I can open these files with WMP9, WMEnc9, but not with
MM2.1.
The age old error message is "filename.mpg could not be
imported. An interface has too many methods to fire
events from"
Initially, the only suggestion I found on PapaJohn's
website and aside from an interim conversion.

I want to eventually compress to a wmv using a bit rate of
peak 3000, average 1200, no resizing of the video, and
with the comercials cut out. The problem with an interim
conversion is that the comercials typically weight on the
peak and push the wanted content to the low side of the
average.
The next logical step is to capture with a specific
codec. What codecs are supported. I have found web pages
(listed next) that say what file types MM supports and
that not all MPEG2 codecs are supported, what codecs WMP
supports, and what pixel format to use when capturing.
But they do not list what MPEG2 codecs MM2.1 does support.

"Capture to a YUY2 (4:2:2) pixel format"
I just found an offsite link listed for ATI cards on the
PapaJohn's website. I am going to try this next. It
hints that the HuffyYUV codec is supported.

Pinnacle Studio 8 (bundled with the ATI card) manipulates
the video just fine, but appears to not let you update the
very short list of compression profiles when rendering to
a WMV file. I currently have a query into them about this.
