Transcode 360 v1.0 Beta 3-- Posted by XanTium on April 15 19:16 EST
Runtime released a new version of Transcode 360(info):

Quote

I'm happy to announce the release of Transcode 360 Beta 3, the newest version of the XviD / DivX playback solution for Xbox 360 and Media Center Extender devices on Windows Media Center 2005. Once more this beta release is provided in advance of the final release to encourage community feedback and to help us better understand the areas we need to focus on.

New in this release:
After a lot of painstaking testing we believe we've addressed the aspect ratio issues that affected Beta 2, and for the most part AV sync, playback choppiness and a couple of issues that should make for easier installation (notably MPEG2 codec co-existance). Additionally, Beta 3 also features support for subtitles.
To enable the optimum transcoding solution T360 now supports multiple transcoding engines: ffmpeg, mencoder and Windows Media Encoder plug-ins are provided. As I mentioned in my previous post, mencoder has been selected as the best candidate for our solution as it offers us lots of flexibility supporting a staggering 299 codecs. It is this then that we will be primarily focused on supporting.

If you have a little programming experience you're welcome to create your own custom plug-in wrappers, or contribute to the project by improving on what we have. Full C# source code for the majority of the plug-ins is included as part of the distribution.

I'll be taking it a bit easy now at least for the rest of the holiday. That said, I'll pop into the forums over the next couple of days to provide answers to some of the frequently asked questions. The plan over the short term is to update the online documentation as its beginning to look a bit dated.

Finally I would like to thank my team of testers who've been working with me to iron out the bugs, as well as you the community for your support and generous donations. Many thanks! Happy downloading!

What's the big deal with people streaming with their pc's? The 360 isn't doing any of the real processing. It's like buying a cake from the store and saying you made it yourself! PHONEY!

well if there was a way to transfer video to the 360's harddrive i'd much rather do that (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif).

Why are you even here posting here, this post in no way furthers the thread or your worth as a human being.

1. How do I get 5.1 surround sound?

2. How can I make the subtitles bigger?

3. How can I make the resolution higher?

If it's possible to do these three things this is best program ever!

i understand what your saying, having to have to have another system actually doing the processing takes resources making the 360 a mere extension cord, but this prgram has did what the mircrosoft couldnt, and for not having your xbox modded this program is a dam savior.

much appreciation to runtime 360 for making this, its been very helpfull and the quality is kickass, as it keeps the rez of the file intaced.

Hey guys,

Anybody know how to automatically remove the buffer file after the file has been played?

mine seem to stay there and take up hard drive space

Thanks

My human worth? You actually have a scale of human worth based on the content of their posts?
Wasn't my intent to feel "better" about myself.. Just bringing up a point. May have ben a bit harsh, but yes I do understand what it's used for. I was referring to the people who think their xbox is actually doing all the processing. I'll stick to my XBMC for all my video needs.. WAY more convenient for my tastes.

I am having a problem after updating this as well, like the top few posters. "Unable to queue file and stream" Hope he can fix this issue.

We all know xbmc is better okay, my point was why are you posting this here instead of a new thread. Nobody said anything here about the 360 itself doing anything. This is for people with problems with this program. Nobody cares about your opinion on something noone here was discussing in the first place.

bmaltais · « **Reply #14 on:** April 16, 2006, 09:45:00 PM »

Some of the problems you might have regarding the queuing might be related to the "WmeBroadcastTranscoder" folder in the Wrappers folder. Just delete it or move it somewhere else and then restart the transcode service. This is a known issue and should be resolved fairly soon.

Hope this will help some of you guys!
