I am using Expression Encoder SDK in Microsoft Visual Studio 2008. I have been trying to get a feel for the sdk and been experimenting with the dlls. The problem I am having is every MediaItem I create does not get the properties right. I print out the video size, frame rate, ect and most of the properties are not the same as the video claims to be. I've debugged and checked the values and they are wrong there too. I've looked into the video and its properties its claiming are correct so I know the problem isn't with that. So basically I'll have a MediaItem of a 480 x 240 avi and encoder says its 512 x 348. It seems like by default it sets the properties as soon as it gets the video. Anybody know whats going on here?
