install all updates again

installed divx from divx.com

installed the codecs i posted before xvid ac3 etc...

launch media center

connect xbox with software

install the new package released transcode 360

Followed this to the letter, (bar the reinstall of updates)... worked perfectly.  Thanks!

I can get 5.1 to work when the source has 5.1 but it does not work when its just 2 channel. I there a way to get it to use an other profile when the source is 5.1?

has anyone applied the new live update and still use the transcode 360 service? Does it still work or did the new update screw some stuff up? Does anyone actually know what the new update has/hasnt done? ive seen the thread regarding the update, but it still is unclear as to what it actually did.
thanks

yes i have updated from xbox live.. and everything still works perfectly.

I was getting the following message when trying to stream transcoded media to my Xbox360:

"Windows Media Encoder threw an exception: System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x80004005): WMEncoder.PrepareToEncode() failed.
   at Transcode360.MceServer.StreamFile()"

and I manged to solve the issue, so I thought I'd post my findings here, to help anyone else with the same problem.

I had installed a fresh copy of Windows XP MCE and got my Xbox360 talking to my desktop installation. This was fine until I wanted to stram video. I installed Transcode v1.0 Beta and was ablt to attempt to stream the medie by selecting 'Info' and from there going on to transcode.

First error I got was: "No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it."
Simply finding the service and changing the service logon user to local system account worked. Note: I wasn't able to set the user to the adminstrator for some reason, but the lcoal system account works fine and doesn't seem to throw up any issues. Yet.

Next error I got was the forboding: "Windows Media Encoder was unable to process the selected file". Then wehn looking in the service event logs there was the error:

"Windows Media Encoder threw an exception: System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x80004005): WMEncoder.PrepareToEncode() failed.
   at Transcode360.MceServer.StreamFile()"

To cut a long story short I spent hours installing Xvid Codecs (this was a clean machine remember?) and AC3 as they were the codec for the video and audio respsectively. These didn't work and I found that Xvid drivers don't work from Transcode 360 site. under code compatibility.

So I downloaded ffdShow and tried to install. Got the message "Error while Registering ffdshow.ax". Eventually found out that this was down to me not yet having MSVCR71.dll installed in my windows\system32 directory. Downloaded this file from here copied it into windows\system32 and selected the same installations as posted on the Transcode 360 site. This time it worked. Seems like MSVCR71.dll is a dependency of ffdshow.ax.

Once I had done this, I can now stream the AVI files no problem. Only one thing though, the volume of the audio is quite low, so does anybody know how to up it?

Thanks

try to disable screen saver in xbox settings - sounds stupid, but works in my case...

I have disaabled the screen saver, but movies still randomly freeze.  The last movie I tried froze at 1h13m into it...

I just reformatted and put a clean install of MCE on my pc.  I installed the Encoder then these codecs:

AC-3
XviD
DivX6

After that the Divx worked fine, but anything with Xvid just sits there and I get the infamous spinning wheel until it eventually times out.  I can tell its not doing anything because My extender is barely working when I try Xvid files.  I also then tried disabling the toolbar as someone said, but that didn't help.

I read through about the first 10 pages of the thread, so I probably missed something.  Any help is appreciated.

RUNTIME, thanks for a great program.....

For some reason when using T360 My audio coming out of my HDTV is very low, and when i put the volume all the way up i get humming and still cant hear the sound that good....anyone having this same issue, can it be a audio codec issue?

couple of reqests:
-Add FF,RR while using T360[if possible]
-Add My Movies Pluggin Support
-Add DD 5.1 Encoding

RUNTIME -  any updates on the next build of T360
and do u have a donation link...

for volume (when using AC3) go into the ac3 config and adjust the master gain

for 5.1, use ac3 and set to the correct speaker setup in the config.  For the profile set to windows media audio 9.1 professional and then go into the settings for that and set to 5.1 with whatever bitrate.

Does anyone know if it's possible to increase the volume on AVI's that have MP3 sound?

[ober0n]

Any ideas on how to have one profile for wma pro with 5.1 and one for regular stereo?

Hello All,

Did some searching and I am sorry if I missed something. Do I need to set anything up special to get my divx files with AC3 to be transcoded and output with 5.1? thanks.

[SteZZz]

I know i maby sound a little bit lazy, also did made alot of post on this forum.
but there are some things not very clear to me.

I have a windows 2003 datacenter server with 1TB of movies music and stuff.
I will format the C: partition and install Windows XP MCE on it.
than i will do a full windows update on it.
no problems on this routine stuff.
the thing is, what codecs do i need cause i read this topic carfully, and beleef me there are alot of pages on this topic

i was thinking just to install k-lite codepack but i figured out that should work.
so maby could anybody plz post the best codec that work with transcode360 so i can stream the best quality of xvid divx movies to my xbox360
i heard that with the divx6.1 u need to remove the systray icon or something, but i can;t seem to find a tutorial on that.

so maby it would be beter if transcode360 v1.1 beta should have the codes that is supported the best init or something. (just a suggestion)

but for now can anybody please clear up my mind and help me out with the good codecs so i can do this installation without any buggs.

already thnxs for helping me out here.
