Encode360 v2.0 beta6 Posted by XanTium | July 14 00:35 EST | News Category: Xbox360

Dan released a new beta of Encode360(info) - an application which will convert virtually any video format to high quality WMV's which can be played by the Xbox 360 or the Microsoft Zune device. Encode360 2.0 beta 6 Changelog (Abridged):     * NEW: FLV & WMV Support     * NEW: Ability to Drag/Drop re-order of items in the encoding list.       NEW: "Enable / Disable Subtitles through FFDshow" to Advanced Settings       NEW: "Preferred Subtitles Language" Option to Advanced Settings. This is so that PreProcessing Scripts (such as the updated one for MKV files) can extract and use them     * NEW: ETA on Encoding Completion (Requested by damski)     * NEW: Shutdown PC when finished (Requested by Hitcher)     * CHANGE: Massive internal re-write. I had been putting this off for a while, but eventually I had to do it. I've compartmentalized all of the Encoder code into a separate class and re-written huge segments. This has eliminated a HUGE amount of the codebase, and made it a lot more flexible.     * CHANGE: Disabled .NET x86 directive. This means x64 isn't currently supported, until someone gets around to re-compiling specifically for 64-bit. Schlicky will hopefully do this over the next few days     * CHANGE: Huge overhaul to the Aspect Ratio handling code. Now works with Non-Square Pixel videos (Thanks to Zen)     * CHANGE: Seriously cleaned up Debug Information     * CHANGE: Rewrite to the PreProcessing Script code. New MKV PPS Scriptlet linked below. Extract to the Encode360 folder (will create a subfolder called MKV\)     * CHANGE: Logging now includes less useless details, and more important details     * CHANGE: Debug Info is no longer a Top-Most Window     * CHANGE: An error is no longer displayed if no subtitles were found in an MKV     * CHANGE: Updated MediaInfo to 0.7.5.0 (LOTS of media-detection bugs fixed)     * FIX: Framerate "Double" error could occur if not using English as your Locale Settings (thanks to Zen)     * FIX: Certain audio streams returned an invalid sampling rate which caused Encode360 to bomb out     * FIX: If Autoscale was not enabled and was a saved setting, the Output Resolution was always 0×0 unless you ticked and unticked Autoscale     * FIX: Non-Square Pixels were always detected, even when the source video wasn't     * FIX: Invalid duration times in a number of container formats, ie, MKV, OGM (which led to a host of other problems)     * FIX: Force 2 Channel Audio Downmix setting now saved     * FIX: Force Quality Based Audio Encoding setting now saved     * FIX: Better Exception handling when running PreProcessing Scripts     * FIX: Ratio division bug - see http://dcunningham.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=283     * FIX: If autoscale was disabled, Height / Width values were inverted resulting in a bad encode MKV Subtitle Pre-Processing Scriptlet Changelog:     * NEW: Subtitle Language Support     * NEW: Support for additional subtitle formats: UTF, IDX, SUB, SRT, SMI, RT, TXT, SSA, AQT, MPL and USF     * CHANGE: Better debug output for troubleshooting     * CHANGE: Updated MKVToolNix Official Site: dcunningham.net Download: Encode360 v2.0 beta6 | MKV Subtitles Pre-Processing Scriptlet

I wonder why this is happening upon startup. I have plenty of music videos I would like to encode for my 360



EDIT: Just thought about trying compatibility mode, Windows XP Service Pack 2, and still no go.

It sounds like you do not have Windows Media Encoder installed. Happens to mine too and now it's fixed.

This is the software that allows you to use Media Center to watch divx on your 360 right?

Opps that is Transcode 360.


So what is this?

I've installed Windows Media Encoder and now it's working. Thanks

Someone got it working on vista.

[eyric101]

Are there any major advantages to this over Transcoder?  I can watch everything i need with on-the-fly conversion.

[Altima NEO]

I dont really care to watch WMV on my 360, since I just use Media Center, but this might come in handy for my Zune, if I can get this to work.

This can be used for Zune video conversion, or for those of us who wish to not have our cpu fans running full blast while we're watching a movie, and not have to transcode on the fly everytime you want to watch a movie.

[alanasian]

can some1 explain why rmvb format cannot be detected?                or convert to high qualitiy window media play on xbox360 console?
