Hi guys,

Here is a quick update on what is happening with Transcode 360!  Runtime is currently working on the "Next Gen" of transcoding solution!  Expect to be amazed!  I certainly am!  I have been fiddling around on some new method of streaming transcoded content to the 360 with Runtime.  Let say that the preliminary results are very exiting!

In short you should get:

*Very high video quality (mpeg2 at high bit rate)
*Remote control will pause, resume, skip forward and skip backward the transcoded video
*In theory divx files with AC3 should playback fine in either 2 or 6 channels audio (I will test this out tonight...)
*Lower overall CPU usage (meaning that a slower machine could be used to transcode) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pop.gif)
*Simpler installation

Runtime is hoping to have something ready for testing by the end of the week!  Let all have a good tought for him!

More update!

Guess what! Runtime sent me a copy of T360Beta2RC1 tonight!  It work quite fine for one day of coding!  Expect the same integration in MCE through the My Video/Info/Transcode option.  No change here.

The big change is that the transcode start alost instantanously and as I previously said you get control of the whole transcoded file!  Pucture quality is very good thank's to ffmpeg!

There is still quite a bit to do to rund up the beta2 but from what I have seen expect something sooner than later!

This will be a major improvement for all 360 owner!  Forget about T360Beta1, VLC360 and the rest!  The future of divx/xvid streaming is going to be T360Beta2!

I have T360 running fine except for one Speaker killing problem my 360 is connected to my amp via optical and tv via VGA.
Whenever i watch XVID ripped TV episodes i get a seemingly random high pitched squeal that kicks in my amps protection circuitry and turns down the volume. happens a handful of times per episode and only on tv progs, never on full films etc.  This is purely a guess but i think its the point where the ad breaks start and its chopped, when i encode the files with Cucusoft the squeal is gone.
So any suggestions to curb this problems cause T360 this rocks the pants off the other offerings i tried apart from this small ear shredding problem.

Sounds good... Can you tell us if it will still allow another PC on your network to do the transcoding like in Beta 1?

I'm running MCE2005 in a Virtual Server 2005 machine, which doesn't emulate a sound card. The transcoding is done by my more powerful P4 3.2 GHz workstation at the moment.

Well, I don't know.  I do not see why it would not.  If I can find the time I will look into it.

I am expecting RC2 of T360Beta2 tonight.  From the discussion I had with Runtime it should be pretty close to a complete release.  If I can I will make a quick video and try to post it on youtube to show what the next gen of transcoding will look like!  I am very please with it so far and I think that most 360 users with an MCE 2005 server will enjoy it.  This is probably as close at it will get to native playback of xvid/divx files on the 360 itself.  Maybe one day MS will finally build this feature into the console.  I guess if the PS3 offers it they will follow their lead...

hi guys,

cant seem to get this to work, i get the old time out error.

read thru most of tis forum and tried all different suggestions but none have worked yet.

i can select the file i want and try transcoding it but it times out, the bit i dont get is there are thumb pictures on the files now but normally without transcode there isnt (for xvid files). so its like it can see the file, give me a preview picture of it but not play it

(i only have divx 6.1 and ac3 codecs installed)

any suggestions???

[blinky2134]

I have found that the first thing to check is that the PC doing the transcoding can play the file with no errors in Windows media player.  Look out for the error that scrolls along the bottom of Media PLayers window saying it is unable to locate a codec but then plays fine. I think this error is relating to playing DIVX files without the codec and it uses the XVID codec and vice versa.

I am stumped! It used to work perfect, I could stream anything. And now suddenly, it just times out.. I dont know what I changed, but it has to be something!

The log gives me this:

Hope someone can shed some light on this, because it used to work fine!

One time, just one time.  Mine stopped converting as well.  Not the same error as you but all I did was wait and wait.  Then I uninstalled T360 and re-installed it and it started working again.  Try that.
