Video Scaling not working
Posted: Fri Jun 22, 2012 6:17 am
Hi! ^^
I've been using PMS since sometime about December. 720p works flawlessly with these;
i7 2670qm, 2,2ghz
8gb ram
GTX 570M, 1,5GB
100/10 connection, wired of course. Xbox 360
Is the above good enough for transcoding MKV 1080p files with softsubs? If yes; they stutter like crazy and are unplayable.
Putting that aside, I tried using the video scaling option, but "downscaling" it instead. 1280x720, that is.
That worked fine, no lag and plays like it should. However, the latest versions of PMS does not properly do this, for me, the same goes for UMS.
It just says: "Setting video resolution to: 0x0, your Video Scaler setting"
I assume the 0x0 means that it doesn't do anything at all since it still lags.
PMS version 1.40 is the latest version that the video scaling option properly works. I would've used that and just shut up, but the image quality is notably worse, being a bit "blurry" so to say..
The guys over at PMS forums doesn't seem to have any solution to this other than me to quit with 1080 files since the xbox 360 doesn't support them.. anymore, so image improvement is non existent, according to one dude over there. However, the reason for me trying to transcode these files is because some series I'm watching doesn't have 720p versions.. Or they are just not seeded anymore *grin*
Phew, I'm sorry for the long post. Anyways, I would like to ask you to check this out, the Video Scaling thingy and make it work, unless you can come up with a solution for transcoding without using this feature.
Thanks in advance, any help would be greatly appreciated.
