Is there any Manual how to enable the Video Transcoding under Windows?
I have only found something for Linux but nothing for Windows...
What i have done already:
C:\Programme\TwonkyMedia\cgi-bin
convert.location = C:\Programme\ImageMagick\
ffmpeg.location = C:\Programme\VistaCodecPack\filters\ffmpeg\
vlc.location = C:\Programme\VideoLAN\VLC\
mencoder.location = C:\Programme\MPlayer für Windows\
The only thing that i can aktivate is the Image Convert all others are grey

I too am interested in a '"how to" on the transcoding stuff.

I guess you refer to my post (the Linux "solution")? It seems the .location files do nothing under any OS. So why not giving it a try and copy the executables right into the cgi-bin directory, restart TMS and see if you can activate them now.
But, at least for Linux even that I was able to activate some video conversion (flv2mpeg for my PS3) it never ever worked but resulted in corrupt data, no data or even crashing the connection...
In other words:
I also never got transcoding to work on my (pretty powerful) Linux server.

The webpage (the greyed out options) is BACKGROUND transcoding. The .location and .desc files are for on-the-fly conversion. Sounds like you have the 2 mixed up. I believe they are independent. It's a tad confusing I know

I have tried reading loads here, but can't find the answer.
I just got a Panasonic G15 DLNA with bundled Twonky license and DivX works great, but only Mpeg2 and DivX are supported.
I am struggling to see whether it is possible to transcode on the fly with TwonkyMedia to deliver either mpeg2 or DivX to the TV irrespective of input format at Twonky Server end.

Has anyone been succesful with transcoding? I have been fighting to get AAC to MP3 transcoding (on-the-fly) running and nothing seems to execute. I have added debuging to the any2mp3 script and do not believe it is ever being executed? Any hints? I am still on the trial license as this is a deal-breaker feature for me. I happen to be on a mac, but the issues are the same.

Can someone from Twonky tell us how to transcode files? Why have the option if it is greyed out and why not add the instruction on the install PDF?
