    Default WD TV Live transcoding issue

    Mezzmo transcodes everything when streamed to my new wireless WD TV Live. I used a hard drive for the WD TV Live. Everything played fine. The external hard drive is full and I wanted to stream to the WD TV Live like I already do for my Playstation 3s and my XBOX 360s. I noticed that everything was being transcoded. This does not need to be done. I only use 2 different video file formats. Here's MediaInfo excerpts for my 2 formats:

    I stopped (turned off) all transcoding by Mezzmo and tried streaming these movies again. Everything played fine and nothing was being transcoded.

    So is the only solution to my problem is to stop all transcoding? Or is there a Profile fix that will allow my videos to be played without transcoding?

    Thank you for your time. Steve
