Trying ffdshow as transcoder to MVP

[jim08127]

I have ffdshow installed with default configuration and wanted to try using it instead of ffmpeg as transcoder for avi files played on MVP. The ffmpeg works ok.

Anyways when I change the config.xml settings (false for ffmpeg and true for ffdshow) and then go to play an avi, the MVP reboots after a few seconds. I can't really tell whats happening other than that.

The file I am trying to play is 720 x 480, XVID with MPEG layer-3 Audio. I didn't have to change anything to get it to work with ffmpeg.

Any suggestions?

I'm not sure what you're talking about. ffdshow is a directshow decoder. It cant be used to transcode files.

Ok, that should explain the problem then. lol.

Just misread the wiki.
