Fast Forward problem with Mezzmo

[Paul]

Did you convert the files yourself (using a third-party tool) or did Mezzmo do that? Yes, please send logs to that e-mail. Thanks!

I wrote a daemon process to poll/interrogate Media Centre for new recordings and fire off VideoRedo's COM interface to do a QuickStream fix and save the file as mpeg-ps.

[Paul]

Ok, as a test, can you add one of the original WTV files to Mezzmo and let Mezzmo transcode it and see if FF/REW is better/same/worse?

[paul49]

No problem. My server hardware isn't really grunty enough for real-time transcoding - your new pre-transcoding is good enough for the purpose?

[Paul]

Yes, one of the reasons pre-transcoding was implemented is to help transcode files on lower-spec'ed CPUs. It won't automatically pre-transcode new files as they come in, but that's a planned feature.

[paul49]

I haven't looked at pre-transcoding yet. What format does it transcode to - do I need to tell it which profile I'm going to use?

[Paul]

It'll only let you pick from the devices that have been connected to your server at any stage (basically the ones that you see in the Media Devices dialog) and you can choose formats, based on the device profile.
