Hi!
I'm also getting the infamous "TRANSCODE 360: EXCEPTION. Transcoding request timed out!" error, and then, in the log file, this one:
08/02/2006 2:55:09 *ERR* Windows Media Encoder threw an exception: System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x80004005): WMEncoder.PrepareToEncode() failed.
at Transcode360.MceServer.StreamFile()
Seems to me a very common error, as has been reported by three or four of us.
Well, I've tried to transcode a video manually, and ffdshow runs just fine. But, just in case, I uninstalled it and installed Koepi's one. No luck, same errors.
I have to say that I've installed WME, but not the SDK, because its not documented to be necessary.
So, the mistery remains, and does not seem to be codec related.
Any ideas?
OK, I've solved the problem, and IT IS codec related.
Koepi's codec DOES NOT work, only DivX 6.1 works (following the tray icon removal instructions).
My main problem is now how to get the subtitles (SRT format) displayed, as I was using ffdshow and VobSub is not working.
