Hi all,
New to this software. I was looking for something a little better than TVErsity and found it. The transcoder and interface are much better. However the transcoding for XBOX 360 (and possibly other profiles) does not seem to send the original aspect ratio (or my XBOX does not support it) but TVersity does it.
However, this can be fixed.
So I went ahead and fixed up the profile changing the FFMPEG command line.
For the XBOX 360 profile (and possibly others) in the programdata folder change the following line:
<ffmpegadditional>-copyinkf -vf "scale=1280:trunc((1280/dar)/4)*4" -aspect 16:9 -fflags +genpts+ignidx+igndts -cmp 1 -subcmp 1 -mbd bits -trellis 0 -intra -pix_fmt yuv420p</ffmpegadditional>
It is: -vf "scale=1280:trunc((1280/dar)/4)*4" that fixes it. Change 1280 to your preferred output video resolution (this will likely need to match the size used for transcoding specified in the profile). You could also potentially use the FFMPEG variable "in_w" to match the size to the source video width but I have not tried it and since it is scaling the video anyway now I think the higher res is better.
You will discover this issue if youve used something like Handbrake and the encoded video has a different display size (aspect) than the dimensions of the video.
NOTE: This is for when transcoding. ie for unsupported videos on the system like MKV or in some cases MP4.
NOTE 2: Obviously use at your own risk, I am not support for this product. However if I see a reply and am around I will try and reply.
Hope this helps others. Keep up the great work on the software.
Tom
