                    return;
                }

                mItem.OutputFormat.VideoProfile = SetVideoProfile();             

                // Output mode must be set for Smooth Streaming. Otherwise it

                // will default to a WMV file

                OutputMode outputmode = new OutputMode();

                outputmode = OutputMode.SmoothStreamingMultipleFile;                          

                Console.Out.WriteLine("Output mode is: " + outputmode.ToString());               

                job.MediaItems.Add(mItem);

                // Sets one of the template profiles to make things easier

                job.ApplyPreset(Presets.VC1IISSmoothStreamingHD720pVBR);

                job.OutputDirectory = @"c:\output";

                job.Encode();

            }

        }

        static AdvancedVC1VideoProfile SetVideoProfile()

        {

            // Sets the video profile properties

            AdvancedVC1VideoProfile profile = new AdvancedVC1VideoProfile();

            // The SmoothStreaming property must be set to true on the video profile

            // if you are using Smooth Streaming. This is not necessary for the audio profile.

            profile.SmoothStreaming = true;

            profile.AdaptiveGop = false;

            return profile;
