Transcode for mkv with too high ReFrames
Posted: Sat Mar 30, 2013 8:55 pmAs you all know some players have problems when playing files with higher than 4.1 profile or with too high level of ReFrames - video stutters - example below:
To fix it you must encode with lower ReFrames but it takes time. How about to fix it by transcoding? I'm using Viera G30 profile but it doesn't work as I would like it to. Video is still stuttering and it is transcoding as audio is transcoded (DD instead of DTS). PS3 Media Server has no problem with such files but I prefer Serviio
