Please try this and see if you find the different codec options. I presume
that you are using the Windows Media Encoder 9.

1. Open up your regular encoding session with your profile (.wme) file. If
you input things by hand, finish everything till you get to the point just
before start encoding.
2. At that point, click on Properties tab on the encoder.
3. On the page that comes up, choose "Compression".
4. Click on the "Edit" tab on that page. A dialog box pops up.
5. On that dialog box, you would see a section with title as "Media Type"
with Audio and Video. There is a corresponding "Codec" option for each
which is probably what you are looking for. Choose the older video codec.

Hope this helps.

Ken,

WMP 7 & 8 are capable of streaming/playing the 9 Series codecs; as long as
the codecs are downloaded. The help docs or someone on the player newsgroup
should be able to provide more help on this.  

Regarding your question about selecting different codecs in the encoder,
you can do this in the 9 Series Encoder user interface by going to Session
Properties --> Compression tab.  Press the Edit button, then you should see
the drop down menus for selecting different codecs.   I recommend that you
continue to use the 9 Series codecs and investigate why the codecs aren't
automatically downloaded by the player.

Thanks for using Windows Media Technologies.
