MKV files and Media Center


Recommended Posts

i just got this gotsent thingy and just let it do it's job. I burned it to a DVDRW to test but i'm sure it would work over the network too... right now same quality (freaking great!) and i'm definitely enjoying it for sure.

Well im giving this a shot atm, but i didnt know the x360 played mp4s?

EDIT: well the results are in and the mp4 plays in media center but its still stuttering in full screen mode, im lost for ideas now

EDIT:2 just tried playing the mp4 via the 360 and i just got a black screen, audio or video didnt play, i need a mkv to wmv converter

To quote Will Riker ... Yes, absolutely, I do indeed concur wholeheartedly. Gotsent is a Godsend, I transcode to MP4 and I'm all set plus if need be I can stream to 360 with TVersity

No issues here either. I use ffdshow, latest beta build (may be key) and Haali media splitter. It's all you need.

I also use this: http://damienbt.free.fr/

Recommended highly. I used to use codec packs, but glad I found this solution. Oh, and I doubt you have a weaker cpu than the one on my mce. An A64 3300+

I haven't seen this mentioned yet here, but your card should support DXVA hardware acceleration which might help with your problem. Grab http://bluesky23.hp.infoseek.co.jp/DXVAChecker_1510.zip it will let you know what your video card supports exactly. Then grab a copy of MPC-HC, and extract the file MPCVideoDec.ax and register it with regsvr32, it supports hardware decoding, FFDShow and CoreAVC do not. All the video decoding is offloaded to your video card and on your system watching a 720p movie you should only see 5-7% CPU usage when watching a 720p video.

Also within DXVA Checker you can test your videos to make sure all is working:

To Shao128, please how I can extract mpcvideodec.ax from latest build of MPC-HC?

Many thanks

Hello Shao128, thanks for replay.

But you has type:

Then grab a copy of MPC-HC

I understand it as download exe file, and from it extract *.ax file...

Single filter of mpcvideodec.ax on sourceforge is pretty old. Latest build of mpc-hc allow using dxva for 8800 nvidia series. But i need this as single filter. With 1.1.0.0 doesnt work for me.

Thanks a lot

Sorry I should have clarified. The package you downloaded is just the player itself. Youll want to grab the standalone fitler package, the .ax is in there. 1.1.0.0 is the last official release, if you are looking for newer builds (alpha/beta) you can find them in this thread http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=123537 Its a little long, but look towards the end, they are posted there.

Many thanks, but i know about this thread. Here is latest build of exe file. But I need only MPCvideodec.ax filter from 558 exe build.

I dont know much about c++ compitation, does anybody compile this file from source code?

    • Surprise! We still can't get it right. With the current state of AI, the crappy software, the huge mega-corporations that back all of these idiot things, I think we are a very long way away from SAE Level 5. I, for one, will never get in one.
    • Nice. September/October GA?! I'll keep following it, but won't install any preview or beta versions.
    • Wow, that could have been dangerous, certainly not ready for these things. They have to be 100% or pretty well close to it. Not that I will see one i doubt, never mind ride in one, they may have them in London, but I doubt they will come to where I live.
    • Nothing kills CMF Phone 2 Pro's successor due to rising memory prices by Hamid Ganji Storage and RAM prices have been rising over the past year, leading to a significant increase in the cost of electronics for customers around the world. Many companies are now revising their plans for upcoming devices due to higher component costs and overall production expenses. CMF is the latest company to cancel the successor to one of its best-selling phones due to rising memory prices. CMF is a sub-brand of Nothing and focuses on making budget smartphones for growing markets. The brand launched the CMF Phone 2 Pro last year with some eye-catching specifications and an affordable price. While many customers may have been waiting for a successor this year, one of the company’s executives has announced that CMF will not release a new smartphone this year. And AI is to blame. As Nothing co-founder Akis Evangelidis announced on X, the company has been working on a successor to the CMF Phone 2 Pro, but with current memory prices, it cannot “build a phone that feels like a genuine step forward at a price that makes sense for CMF.” So, no new CMF phone will be launched this year. Meanwhile, Evangelidis said the company still has several new products in the pipeline, including some in entirely new categories. He added that the Nothing brand will also continue launching new products through 2026. Budget smartphones are among the first victims of the surge in RAM and memory prices, as they have become more expensive to build. The sharp increase in memory costs could also reshape the traditional price ranges associated with budget phones. Apple CEO Tim Cook also recently said that price increases for some of the company’s products are unavoidable because RAM and memory have become significantly more expensive this year. Analysts estimate that the base price of the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro could rise to $1,399 due to current market shortages.
    • Nudge me when they bring back hardware audio acceleration so I can get my EAX 5 back. We've evolved graphics to real-time path tracing, but regressed audio some 15 years back in time with this stupid software audio stack.
