Re: How to set configuration for CBR WMV

Please see this thread: http://mcebuddy.com/forums/p/555/2544.aspx#2544 Zune supports other formats, but the 1st gen Zune (30GB) does not support MP4 like later versions do. So those other profiles are useless for 30GB Zune owners. From MSFT: "The Zune device also supports Windows Media Video (WMV...

Zune - bitrate limitations

Using wmv for the zune does not work because there seems to be a bug in how it labels the bitrate of the file. According to MSFT: The Zune device also supports Windows Media Video (WMV) Simple Profile, Windows Media 7 and 8, and PhotoStory files. For these video types, the maximum video bit rate is 736...

How to set configuration for CBR WMV

I have a 30GB Gen 1 Zune. It only supports wmv video unlike the newer versions which support MP4. If I use the "Very Low Resolution" setting for 320x240 wmv output, when I try to sync it to my PC, the Zune software still tries to reconvert the video itself. I think the problem is because it...

prevent double encode for a zune?

I've been able to transfer ATSC recorded shows to my Zune, but it takes forever. After MCEBuddy gets through with it, it seems the Zune software does another conversion. Is there a format I can convert the files to and avoid the conversion by the Zune software? Robert

Re: Zune High Quality

Hey, glad to see it works well. Making or changing a profile is pretty easy. Backup a copy of the mencoder.conf file in C:\Program Files\Tyrell\MCEBuddy\mplayer. Use notepad to increase the relevant settings. Here's what I use to get letterbox video (i.e., it crops the sides). This is a modification...

Re: ZUNE minus double transcode BUDDY and ZUNE APP? (Best Route)

Hello, i have a bit of info on my observations of the dreaded double transcodewith zune software. and some queries on why we are banging our heads on this. zune software needs to import all supported formats and convert them to wmv in order to output, the exception to this is low res mp4, (avc) at native...

Re: ZUNE minus double transcode BUDDY and ZUNE APP? (Best Route)

Sorry, the new profile transcoded as well. I think it needs wmv7,8,9 for Zune 80. What encoders do the other free software use, like DVR2WMV, DVRMS toolbox and AutoConvertDVR?

SOLUTION: Black bar removal

So I stumbled upon a solution by accident. When I was testing profiles for use on my zune 80 I was looking at the mencoder config file. I wanted to keep my files a little bigger resolution so I changed the size up to 640. The result cropped the sides but kept the file size at the specified 320x208. So...

Re: CONFIRMED ...: ZUNE minus double transcode BUDDY and ZUNE APP? (Best Route)

For, keep in mind my specs: Zune 80, Windows Ultimate 32, ATSC Dvrms I tried both Ipod profiles (5 & 6) and can confirm that they both re-transcode prior to syncing. Both PSP profiles work. Looking at the mencoder config, there must be some minute differences that the Zune doesn't play natively...
