If you have some Windows Media Center WTV files you need editing then Expression Encoder 3 (EE3) appears to be the most robust way to achieve this task. I have a backlog of files waiting to be edited but all the available software for WTV editing up to this point was lame. EE3 which has only just recently launched is the first video editing software from Microsoft that natively supports WTV. EE3 also batches jobs and can convert files for all popular streaming formats even MP4 and H.264. Check it out. Nice. Johnh

The new beta version of Windows Virtual PC feels kinda nice but is a little unpredictable. A few key points I have come to learn: Server 2008 does not appear to be a supported guest OS. But it does seem to work ok for me thus far. There is sparse documentation it appears (as in none at this stage). Virtual PC 2007 and the new beta version cannot co-exist on Windows7. Integration features are flakey at best with server 2008, mapping to a share from the host to the guest is slloooooowwww as a work around. I found upon startup that the enabling integration features screen would drag out for a few minutes and sometimes show an error dialog but the VPC would still open and be functional, but no VPC integration of course even though the VPC itself thinks integration features are active, the Tools menu shows the option to enable integration features greyed out indicating the features are active. I was able to get integration features working once the guest has started by ...

If you are trying to index Vignette with MOSS make sure don’t attempt it without the Infrastructure Update and registry changes to the index server to accommodate case sensitive URL’s where relevant. Then try different start URL’s for the content source and of course create crawl rules for the complex URL’s again if this is relevant to the Vignette specific implementation. And client cookie requirements on the start page can also impact SharePoint’s ability to begin crawling the Vignette start address. JohnH
