This SKU is available for purchase here. It's also available as a free upgrade from Encoder v3 with IIS Smooth Streaming (see below).Unfortunately, the premium codecs that we shipped in the full Pro version cannot be distributed via MSDN due to codec licensing agreements.Here is a list of the codecs in question:- Decoders: MPEG2, MPEG/TS Splitter, Dolby Digital (AC3), MP4, H.264 and AAC- Encoders: MP4 and H.264-based Smooth StreamingNote: While the full-featured Pro SKU is required to get H.264 encoding functionality, 3rd party DShow decoders can be used to import the file formats above.
