[iwols]

hi all after 3 days trying to sort out what file extensions play ok and what dont here are my conclusions

1 idont have any conclusions.....some vobs play some dont.some avis play some dont,some mkv play some dont.....i think you get the picture ....tried alsorts of converters but theres no common link ,,,can anyone had there thoughts opinions etc....ps all these files play perfect on the pc:frown:

you can use a tool like media info:

http://mediainfo.sourceforge.net/en
it will tell you the used audio & video codec in the media files. So you know what to use and what not to use while converting other files.

take in account some combinations don't play well (video+sound or some compression rates?)

iso - yes only problems are the subs
avi - yes without problems
mkv - yes without problems
mpg - yes without problems (only not possible to jump forw -no seek because theres no video pid in my mpg files)

When is the lan transfer speed going to be fixed? Can't watch any of the 1080p MKV's or even large 720p MKV's from my Nas, its getting a bit annoying!

thanks satstarter im using 9.2371 fw,maybe thats the probs...been told not to use 9.3177,its full of bugs ,how are you finding it please

yes you do have video pid in your mpeg file as well as audio pid.
How do you think you can multiplex an mpeg file if the data is not into a stream pid?
A TS define any video and audio pid using another pid and table (PMT),but an mpeg use predefined pids.

i'm finding there's not much improvement between de SW's
but also not more bugs then before
i only find that there's to little progress in devolpment
my azbox is working pretty wel only what's for me important is good epg
good recording with CCcam and good working subs in iso or dvd files;)

Then don;t do it with videoredo,use other method,a lot simpler : demultiplex the TS file into audio and video,then multiplex using any multiplexer,that should give you ability to fast forward and rewind.
Cut the commercials after this.
The problem can be the file itself,rather than the box.
Did you try any OTHER mpeg file in the box but from videoredo?
I see no problems with those.
(beside,anyone that tells you an mpeg file has no pids,doesn;t really know what is saying)

lol.... tell that to my azbox but he's not saying anything back :sifone:

its actually my azbox that is saying
error seek not possible because no video pid ;)
