Media Foundation is a disaster in my opinion, the native codecs are not working properly, M2TS files are being split correctly, MC7 IS transcoding my M2TS files during playback on my XBox360 and it is causing horrible slowdown and image deterioration.
#Remux vs transcode hd media#
I've just spent 3 days at home on sick leave doing nothing but research HD media playback and streaming via the new Windows 7 framework. And TSMuxer to remux MKV's in to M2TS files which 7MC natively supports.It's still all a mess it's still way too much hard work for the average guy in the street when will it ever end ?
#Remux vs transcode movie#
What are the other options then? The best I have found for DVD is remuxing the container to DVR-MS using Video Redo Plus for seamless DVD playback (Main Movie Only) on extenders with full FFWD capabilities.
I'm not sure anyone really knows how and when or if this native Win7 transcoding occurs? What's the process that runs?It certainly doesn't transcode my MKV's or DVD Vob's to my extenders so is it even there? And the newly added DIVX/XVID support on the XBOX 360 MCX seems native to the XBOX side to me via a dashboard update which re-appeared in the 7MC MCX the first time when trying to play DIVX/XVID on the 7MC MCX. The ideal idea is that anything I can play in 7MC on the PC can be transcoded to the extenders natively.
Then there is talk of this new native transcoding in 7MC. So transcoding in my mind is flakey at best and not 100% reliable. Transcode 360 can be used with MC, My Movies and Media Browser and gives it more scope over the newer Vaders's transcoder which only works with the Vista Media Center native DVD Library, I could never get it working on the native 7MC Movie Library and am not aware of anyone having done so ? Transcode 360 is a life saver no doubt but it's just not reliable enough for my liking. What are the current options for DVD playback on extenders ? Transcoding where the VOB's are remuxed on the fly to MPG. I've purchased my DVD and Blu-ray's discs, I should have the right to consume them in my home with my family anyway I choose and on any device. It's not a technical limitation but must be political one with the big Hollywood content providers, but as a comsumer I don't care frankly. After 18 months of moaning about it I was happy to see they eventually did it and I'm sure other people were waiting a hell of a lot longer than I was. I was amazed MS even gave us native DIVX/XVID support in 7MC MCX on the XBOX 360.
#Remux vs transcode 1080p#
mkv files natively and as a result we use PS3 media server so that the mkv file gets transcoded on the fly to a readable format (MPEG?) for the PS3 to play it which requires a fairly capable CPU for full 1080p high bit rate rips.Ever since I got in to Media Center DVD playback and now Blu-ray and MKV playback on extenders has really really frustrated me! In the fact that they don't support it!I still can't believe in this day and age, that we are unable to natively play ripped DVD's on extenders. My poor mans method of understanding it was as follows:
Now I'm not so sure I have it set up right, as I have been reading that people find with the majority of mkv files they have, "ONLY" a Mux is required for the PS3 to play it which is very much less intensive than a full transcode. I use PS3 Media server and I have been using my powerful main rig to do so over ethernet to avoid any problems.
