can anyone please list file information of the H.264 specs that are giving you good results. I am having a difficult time getting video playback from USB devices using H.264. I can get playback if I encode in MPEG4 or Xvid. I have been using handbrake for windows to convert the dvd files.
not working with the following.
container quick time/mov
video (0) h264 main@5.1
bitrate 999 kbps
res 640x480
fps 29.98
audio mpeg-4 aac lc
bitrate 92 kbps
441000
Have tried various adjustments to resolutions and bitrates with same results. I suspect its the container but not sure which one i can use with h.264
To answer my own question - further tests reveal that it can see H.264 in a MKV container. (yippee!)
It would be even better if it could read transport stream (.ts) files as recorded from broadcast TV by most media centers. Any chance of an later firmware update?
This is getting silly! By a complete accident, I discovered that if I pass the (BBC HD) TS stream through 'TSPS' editor then it gets cleaned up so that it will then directly play in the LinkTheaterHD with no need to transcode or change to a MKV package. The only problem is that it seems to reluctant to see the Dolby AC3 track, but MPEG audio works fine and that is OK by me.
The next hurdle is getting it to play WTV files recorded by Windows7 Media Center!
