Why is Mezzmo transcoding files it doesn't need to transcode?

[seboh9]

Thank you very much for the quick response. That fix did the trick, i'll be buying the software when I get home then . It definitely seems well worth it.

Hi,

I have been trying out the software and so far it is the best overall I have tested with. I too was having this issue and your suggestion of modifying the PS3 Profile worked. Most of my file Divx/Xvid files play fine on my PS3 without the need for transcoding.

With that being said, there a few Divx/Xvid files that are using an alternate audio type, which do need transcoding in order to hear audio. Is there a way to force transcoding on a per file basis? This is a feature available in Tversity, which gave a little more flexibility for those oddly encoded files here and there.

Or a way to detect these different audio sources and automatically transcode? Or does the profile mod I did an all or nothing solution?

Thanks for creating this software... So far loving it!

Here is an FFMPEG details of a particular file in question, that will not play audio unless it is transcoded:

You could try removing the "ac3" format from the "avi" container (close to where you removed the comments) - this will make all AVIs with AC3 sound to be transcoded.

We don't have a per-file transcoding yet, but it's a planned feature for a future version.

Thanks for the quick response Dennis! I will try that later tonight and see how it goes.

It's good to know that you guys are also planning to include this feature.

I'm enjoying the trial and do plan on purchasing, based on my current experience. I've also recommended to a few friends that always come to me for advice on their home theater setups.

Thanks again,
Mike
