I have been having the same issue...
Since installing my ArcSoft Showbiz DVD2 software on my new computer that
happens to be an Media Center Edition it is not allowing me save edited
videos in Windows Media File format. When asttempting to save in the wmv
format it asks me to install the Windows Media Player 9 encoder or another
compatible encoder.
If you want to download the encoder here's the link:

More recently I have also noticed that MCE is associating with my Showbiz
software because now it gives me the option to import "Recorded Television
Shows" this I know is a feature of MCE.
Let me know how it works out?
All the best!

I just contacted HP to see if they could instruct me as to how to uninstall
MCE, to test to make sure it is indeed blocking my encoder and they tell me
that it is part of my version of Windows setup and that there is no way for
me to do so without uninstalling windows completely.
