Transcode 360

Dear All,

Has anyone used this program? After using it to stream a film my 360
freaked out! It made a loud beep and froze with a circle of red lights
flashing (apparently this means that there is a problem with component
cable - be it that it's not plugged in properly or its faulty). It kept
crashing during games and I naturally assumed that it was Donald Ducked, so
I arranged for Microsoft to pick it up for repair. Sitting there extremely
pissed off, it suddenly occurred to me that the problem may be as a result
of using Transcode, so I uninstalled it and guess what - no more problems?
I played games all night just to check (my lame excuse to the other half)
and still no problems!

Anyway to cut a long story short, has anyone experienced a similar problem
using this program or should I play it safe and send my machine back to
Microsoft to get checked?

Meadey

P.S. I'm approaching 12 months on my warranty.

can't say i've had any problems using transcode360, and i've been
using it pretty much since it was released, so for over a year.

i can't see how the programme itself would harm the 360 as it doesn't
actually do anything to the 360 itself, all it's processes are carried
out by the PC.

does your 360 cope alright with streaming 'proper' wmv files from the
PC? (ie not transcoded divx files, but actual wmv files played through
Media Centre or the media blade)

Scrap transcode 360 and get all the WMVHD media doing the rounds.

Get the K-Mega Codec pack, do a google and install the codecs on your PC, I
stream TV shows, films, in DivX, Xvid and many other formats.....no probs at
all...be astonished though when it works, but you must select film, press
info on your remote, and transcode the film...

Impossible for TC360 to affect your box in any way (especially during
games). It runs on the PC not the 360.
