WMEncoder and SDK issue   
Hi all

I currently encode video with Windows Media Encoder. I've had some reports 
of problems with the files that I've encoded. They appear to playback fine on 
a PC however when streamed to a set top box they stutter and freeze 
intermittently.


I have also been told that upon inspection with Windows Media ASF View 9 
Series the only difference that can be determined between a 'good' file and a 
'bad' file is that under the "Extended Content Description Object" the 'good' 
files report the WMFSDKVersion as "10.00.00.3646" and the 'bad' files report 
the value as "10.00.00.3702" or some other value (all files that end in .3646 
play perfectly).

So I ask the following questions:

1) Can this change in SDK version be responsible for this unwanted behaviour 
during playback? If so, how?

2) How would I go about 'reverting' to the 'good' SDK?

I know that Microsoft lists WMP 10 as 10.00.00.3646 (atleast thats given as 
the 'version number') but I did a clean install of WMP 10 and ended up with 
encoded files reporting an WMFSDK Version of "10.00.00.4054".

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
