Transcoding .AVI from Canon camera to Samsung blu-ray

Hi,

I cannot get to Serviio to play .AVI video files recorded on my Canon camera. Serviio is running on my iMac OS X ver. 10.8.3, and the receiving device is a Samsung BD-E5700 blu-ray player with display being a Sharp Aquos HDTV. I don't know what to change/add/edit in the profiles.xml file to fix this and I am not conversant with XML. This is my only peeve; otherwise Serviio is fantastic! I have attached below the result of running ffmpeg on a sample .AVI file. Thanks.

It should be already transcoded when using the c/d/e profile.

Hmm... then why does Serviio bring up the dialog 'Not Supported Video Codec" ? It plays other formats (.mov, .mp4, .vob) just fine.

I think the FFmpeg in 1.2.x has a bug regarding mjpeg sources. Try the latest FFmpeg from zeranoe.

Zeranoe seems to have Windows builds. My computer is an iMac running Mountain Lion. Since I didn't install FFMPEG on my Mac (and I seem to have it) is this something that comes built in and is updated by Apple or is it third party that was just factory installed?

Serviio bundles FFmpeg with it. You will have to either build one yourself or find a repository of the latest OSX builds, and replace the binary inside Serviio.app.

Tried it: Went to this location (http://www.evermeet.cx/ffmpeg/) and got latest Mac binary build and replaced old file with this in Serviio.app. No luck...

Not much I can do then.
