Transcoding MPEG4/DX50 files for a xbox360
Posted: Tue Aug 28, 2012 4:13 pmI have a number of files in mpeg4 containers using the DX50 codec that will not play through Serviio on my 360, when trying to edit the profiles.xml file, I'm running into issues. I attempted to add the line:
<Matches container="avi" vCodec="DX50" />
which caused Serviio to fail to start. Looking into things, it appears Serviio can only handle "mpeg2video, mpeg1video, wmv2, mpeg4, msmpeg4, h263, h264, vc1, mjpeg, flv, vp6, vp8, theora, dvvideo" in the vCodec="" field. Removing vCodec="DX50" and just leaving:
<Matches container="avi" />
causes ALL avi files to be fully transcoded, and this is not what i want, as there is no need to fully transcode 99% of my avi files.
Output from ffmpeg -i on one of the affected files is as follows:

anyone know what I'm doing wrong, or if this is even possible with Serviio?
