The Return of AC3

Little did I know that in developing DVD ISO and VIDEO_TS streaming I’d end up with a practical solution for handling 5.1 audio. So along with a number of other goodies, I’m pleased to report that the next build will once again feature AC3 support
Just as (if not more) important is a […]

As 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 […]

Interim release Beta 3.1

I wanted to say a word of thanks for the feedback you’ve given us to date and give you the heads up on an interim release thats coming your way very soon.
A number of bugs were reported that although easily fixable, were causing quite a lot of problems and general distress, so I wanted […]

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 […]

About Beta 3

I think I’m on the verge of collapsing. I’m just about done setting up forums, online documentation and the various other things needed to support tonight’s release of Transcode 360 Beta 2.
Transcode 360 has gone through quite a transition since it previous incarnation, such that much of the core stuff underneath the […]

A new application has been released in the same vein as Transcode 360. Although it works in a similar manner, what MCE Video Encoder brings to the table is the much requested ability to skip forward/backward/stop and pause - the only catch is you’ll need to flip back to the Info -> More menu; […]

Sorry for the lack of updates people. I am busy with a new release and plan on holding onto it for a bit longer until I can add a couple more features. At the moment the new build mostly consists of improvements in the install process and stuff to help folks with network […]
