Transcode 360 Beta 3.1 available for download
Published by runtime 360 April 22nd, 2006 in TranscodingAs discussed in my previous post, you can now download the interim Beta 3.1 release.
It contains quite a few fixes and to sweeten the update I’ve thrown in DVD ISO streaming (experimental). Your ISO images should ideally be DeCSS’d, and contain just the main title with the appropriate audio track.
Tip: If you really want to maximise your performance, you can get a pre-compiled build of mencoder optimised for your processor over here. The one we redistribute with T360 is generic for logistical reasons. However, if you do raise a support issue please make sure that you let us know that you’re using a non-standard build.
Right, I’m off to play some Oblivion… 
Now, with this version, you just nailed it. what a great MCE improvement have you done!
Only one little doubt: what this ‘”WRN” Using optimal resolutions’ on my log means…?
Thanks for the feedback - the warning is nothing to worry about, it’s essentially a reminder that you’re using the best resolution we calculated as opposed to one that is known/verified to be compatible with the 360.
By the way, I upped the resolution threshold to 921600, and changed the subtitle font to Trebuchet MS (trebuc.ttf), at a magnification of 3 and an outline of 1.5. I think the Arial/3.5/2 combination gets a little bit oversized on screen.
Just a question of personal tastes.
So, right now, Transcode 360 is THE transcoding aplication for MCE/Xbox 360. Congratulations!
Oh, and I fogot abut the fact that I’m using the AMD 64 bits version of Mencoder without any problems at all. Sweet.
Yesod, is it just a matter of moving files from the mplayer2006.04.19.Athlon-64
directory onto the respective ones in \Program Files\Transcode360\Wrappers\MEncoderTranscoder ?
It seems there are more files in the customized Mencoder than distributed with transcode360
Transcode360 is the bomb, thanks for that, works realy smooth no problem at all!
#snapper245: I Just replaced mencoder.exe only, works absolutely perfect!
Hey runtime
I have been running V 1, 2 and 3 with no problems, I have just installed v 3.1 and now I can only play dvr-ms (MC) files but no divx, xvid etc. This applies to files running through T360 and Windows Media Player.
I’ve not uninstalled any codecs etc. I have ffd show installed.
Any help would be appreciated
Please check out the support forums, thanks.
