brand new computer too slow?

[ajpircio]

I previously had mezzmo set up on a computer i made about 3 years ago. It had an AMD Phenom Black x4 processor in it and 4gb of ram. everything was great. I recently upgraded to http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16819106001 and 8gb of ram and for whatever reason mezzmo is unable to keep up with my transcoding for some reason.

My source file is 720p and I'm having it displayed on my PS3 which is using the PS3 Compatible profile with a capped resolution of 1280x720. Right now I'm pre-transcoding my file and it is using 100% of all 4 of my cores, and it's only going at 30fps. I can't tell you what my old computer did, because frankly I never once had an issue and never needed to check.

My video on my PS3 starts getting choppy sound cause it mezzmo isn't keeping up (even says as much). It's using the same Hard drive for my video, and I moved my temp folder for mezzmo onto another drive (USB3 external drive) so that it wasn't pulling double duty, and it didn't seem to matter.

Any help or tips here would be appreciated.

Thanks for the FFmpeg information. PS3s do not support MKV files natively so Mezzmo has to transcode your MKV file into a format that your PS3 can play. Try changing your device profile to "Sony PlayStation 3" and see if this helps. Go to the Media Devices dialog in Mezzmo to change your device profile for a device. Let me know how you go.

ok so i switched the profile, deleted my transcoded files, tried playing the file. It went at like 2000 to 3000 fps, but it told me "unsuppported data" on my ps3 i believe after about 30 seconds.

Do you get this error for just one particular file or for many of your files that you stream? If it is just one file, then you can pre-transcode that one particular file to another format. To pre-transcode a file, right-click on the file in Mezzmo and click 'Pre-transcode File'.
