What is a .XEJ file?
The .XEJ file extension is used for a type of file called an Expression Encoder Job File. These files are created by a program named Microsoft Expression Encoder. This program was designed to change videos from one format to another, a process known as transcoding. When you save your work in Microsoft Expression Encoder, it gets saved as a .XEJ file.
The information inside a .XEJ file is written in XML format. XML is a way of organizing information in a readable form for both computers and humans. In the case of .XEJ files, this information includes which video files you are working with (these are called the source files) and how you want them to be changed. This includes the settings you've chosen for the transcoding process, like how you want the video to look and what file format you want the final video to be in (for example, .WMV, which is a common video file format).
To open a .XEJ file, you would typically use Microsoft Expression Encoder, which is part of a larger suite of tools called Microsoft Expression Studio. However, it's important to know that Microsoft stopped making and supporting Expression Studio in 2012. This means that the software is no longer updated and might not be available or might not work on newer computers or operating systems.
Since Microsoft Expression Studio is discontinued, if you have a .XEJ file that you need to open or work with, you might need to look for alternative software that can open or convert the file, or you might need to find an old version of Microsoft Expression Studio. However, finding compatible software might be challenging due to the discontinuation of the program.
