This works great!

had to download windows media encoder 9, installed it and the transcode.  had to go into services and edit the login from "this account" to "local system account", change the time out from 40 to 120.  now when I transcode it from the 360 I get so sort of file splitting error on my pc.  about 10 seconds after I hit OK on the error message the video starts to play on my 360.  oh well as long as it works!

I wasn't sure it would work well on my system since its only a 2.2 P4 W/out HT and 768MB ram but it works really well.

This is nice but I think I will still use XBMC to stream all of my videos except my DVR-MS files which my 360 will handle.

Edit: Why is it that this program only takes up 10,000K of memory usage when idle and after I shut down my 360 it is still using 80,000.  I would like to leave it on all the time but if its not going to free up the memory once its done I will have to kill the process

Just wanted to say thanks Runtime!! I totally appreciate your excellent work, a very proffessional well designed piece of software.

Mine worked first shot, probably cause I was already prepped from the previos Encode solution, had DivX 6.1, had the systray removal tweak done.

For everyone worried about setting, I've cranked mine up and it's working great. I set min res for downsample to 720p(921600) so it will only use the main PrX file, then I set that to 8000kbps which is nice and high.

My A64 is running ~50-60%. ~20second load time on 90minute(720mb) xVid movie.

You rock!!  (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

how are you guys getting xvid to work? i tried to transcode an xvid file and it just sits there with the arrows going in a circle. also I tried a small divx trailer and it just froze at a black screen at the end. I could get back to the dashboard, but I couldn't do anything in MCE.

Getting the same problem and I even installed Koepi 1.2. Divx is working fine. Seems just like an issue with the codecs now. Any suggestions guys? Thanks In advance

"Sorry to throw a wrench into the gears, but does this help out at all with High Def .ts files?"

Why would you need this for .ts? The 360 will stream and play .ts files just fine as long as you have HDTVPump installed on your PC.

Has anyone tried Runtime's prog with Xvid HD movies?

I'm playing xvid on mine. To get it to work, I first installed divx 6.1 and then xvid 1.2. after that, it worked no problem. hope this helps.

that's exactly what i did and i still cant get it to work :S I even tried playing sample vids and still gettignthe same problem.

So is it fare to say that it's strictly a codec issue now and that everything else seems in order?

Hi guys,

this seems like a pretty sweet software, however I get a quite weird error everytime I try to transcode a xvid/divx file.

TRANSCODE 360: EXCEPTION
Return argument has an invalid type

So whats the deal with that? Any suggestions?

regards,
ooze

I was able to get Divx files to play, but was having no luck with the XVID avi format.  What ended up working for me was to uninstall all codecs, reinstall AC3, reinstall Divx 6.1, and then disable the Divx toolbar via the transcode 360 help file.  I now can run both Divx and XVID with no problems.

I don't remember setting up a user name and password when setting up MCE on the pc. How will this work for me then? Will I need to go back and set one up?
Thanks

when trying to install, I Keep Getting "Unable to verify credentials, please check username and password" even though the username and password is right?, any ideas guys.

After changeing the service to "Local
service" (and starting it manually) ,and using the divx 6.1 tray removal tool..

.. it now works perfectly!! Thanks!! great quality with xvid files!!

now if we could get it to output 5 ch. audio with the wm9.1 pro codec it would be perfect!!

Is it possible??

And do not forget the possibility of streaming *with* subtitles... that's currently possible using fddshow, but WME only seems to like DivX 6.1 when used from the trancoding service. I dn't understand why, because WME is happy with fddshow when streaming manually.

Does this work with Divx HD files?  http://www.divx.com/...hp?categoryID=3  These are some sample Divx HD files.  Can anyone try this out?

[GunRunner69]

hopefully someone can help me out here, i could have swore that i have done everything right 69 times by now but just not having luck.  I'll just spell everything out...
so i installed the program, provided the name and password.  when it asked about the incoming and outgoing ports i was unsure as of how to find out that information that it is asking for.  would that be something I would need to go into the router to see, see it somewhere in windows itself, etc? anyway like i said i left those alone and went on through with the install.  installed the divx 6.1 (used the taskbar tweek too), the ac3, did not install the xvid codec that has been talked about.  the 'more' option does come up in MCExtender. so when i hit transcode it does nothing and times out. i set my 'time out' to 120.  now the videos im trying to watch are on a different computer than the one with MediaCenter. Does that matter?  also this is probably a dumb question but do you have to run Windows Media Encoder on your PC as in open the program or does it just run in the background when you tell the Extender to transcode? Do you have to install Windows Media Encoder on the machine with the video files or just the machine with Windows MediaCenter operating system?  lastly in my log file found in Program Files\Transcode 360 it doesnt give any errors. it just says the name of the file and such at the time that i tell it to start but it doesn't list any errors afterwards. if i tell it to try to encode again, it again lists the time i told it to start and that the command has been recieved but kicks back no errors.    i know that is a ridiculusly long post but i just cant figure it out.  in other words   HELLLLP ! lol                thanks to all in advance

did not install the xvid codec that has been talked about.  
<Snip>

Try installing the xvid codec AND the divx codec that was talked about.
You say you did EVERYTHING talked about, obviously not. It makes me wonder what else you 'didn't do'

Follow the advice given in here and the install instructions and hopefully you will getit working.

Post back and let us know how it goes!

Also, what codec was the file you are trying to transcode, coded in? If you understand what I mean?
