Hello!
How should I transform an unencrypted evo file for WME or expression to open
the file?
Sincerely.

There is no way to make it work in Expression AFAIK.

It might be possible in WME if you are able to install appropriate
DirectShow filters to demux and decompress. You can search other forums
for discussion on that part. There is no official support for EVO files
from HD-DVD.

Thanks Chris P. for replying!
Why is the difference between Expression and WME?
Sincerely.

Expression Encoder is a completely new encoder. It has new features that
WME does not have, but it is also missing a few features that WME had.
Going forward new versions of Expression may get some of the missing
features back, but it's impossible to say if or when.

The main architectural difference is that WME uses an automatic DirectShow
front end for decoding. This means for WME it could support new file types
and codecs automatically once you installed the appropriate filters you
would use for playback. Expression on the other hand is more restricted,
it only supports file formats approved and tested by Microsoft. This makes
the product more stable but less flexible.

About the stabling of the Expression:
Expression Encoder 2 crashes during conversion any of HDV m2t files to wmv
every time. Expression Encoder 2 introduced the mpeg 2 transport stream
support.
Best regards,
Dima
