    Default problem with franscoding speed

    Hi,
    possess an extended trial mezzmo v2.2.0.0
    OS is Windows 7 proffesional 64-bit, porocesor AMD dual-core Opteron 2216 2.4 GHz, 4GB RAM. My problem is as follows ... Some HD or full HD files work great, while some do not. The problem is that when I start movie, transcoding are very slow (file 5626-mpegts_transcoding-libx264-ac3.mzt is growing with speed of 1MB/min), while some movies transcodes for only a few seconds! I would love to find a pattern to encode the entire library so that all the films work well. Here's an example (Avater is doing well, Gladiator does not work):

    Hi,

    Can you please tell me which device and device profile you're using? I would guess that the movies that transcode quickly are simply remuxed (in case of Avatar it has "standard" dimensions, so I'm guessing it's remuxed, while the Gladiator may be fully recoded due to it's dimensions). Once I know the device profile I can confirm this for sure.

    Yes, then my guess is correct We're remuxing the standard dimensions, but because the TV has issues with non-standard dimensions (and aspect ratios), we have to pad those files and this means a full video recode. If you wish, you can remove video dimensions from the device profile, but that may mean that those files will look stretched or squeezed on your TV.

    First, how to remove video dimensions from my device profile and secondely, how to encode my video (I alredy encode every video to hardcode subtitle in) to just remux standard dimension. What is standard dimension for my device (and aspect ratio)....For purpose of encoding, I'm using MeGUI and avisynth script.

    To remove video dimensions, edit the SonyBraviaKDL.prf file (in your DeviceProfiles folder) and remove the various <dimensions> tags from the "mpegts_transcoding" container. After that save the file, restart the server and try again - this should remux the file now. If it doesn't, let me know and I'll post a command using FFmpeg (I don't know about MeGUI/avisynth, as we're not using those).

    Great, thanks for letting me know! Does it display correctly (although with just a few pixels' difference, it'll probably be impossible to tell)?

    Avatar's resolution is 1280x544 with an aspect ratio of 40:17 and not every TV can display that properly, thus the need to transcode such files to proper dimensions/aspect ratio.
