Transcoding a H264 file for a Samsung C5500
Posted: Sat Dec 18, 2010 4:12 pmI have a H264 MP4 AAC file that was converted from a 1920x1080 .WTV file recorded from ATSC broadcast using WMC.
I used MCEBuddy 1.1 to convert it to the H264 MP4 file using the No Resize, 2 pass option.
The resulting file has a total bitrate of 2529kbps @ 29 frames /sec
Playing the file with WMP or VLC on the pc is fine, however, playing it on the Samsung C5500 the compressing artifacts (blocking) are so bad that it is almost unwatchable.
I played it directly from a USB stick with the same results
I tried adding the line
to the profile in an attempt to include a MP4 H264 in the transcoding line up, but it does not seem to do the thing.
The first (noob) question that came up - when is this profile read by serviio
on the fly?
When the server is started? or
when the PC boots?
Second question
Will adding the above line help with the issue or am I missing something?
thanks for a great tool
regards
