Could it be a codec problem ?
I found a thread with the same issue but it is related to a linux system.

Re: TMS 5.1.2 + Video transcoding options not available
I've seen posts to suggest that if you download the required transcoding software (ffmpeg), ensure the location is set correctly in the transcoder desc files, then these options ungrey.
I haven't tried this myself, and I believe in making all my media be in the correct format before I need it, rather than transcoding it (I am lucky, all my devices support a good range of common formats, so it's no hard to choose a format that works everywhere)

I think if this is a feature of TMS 5.1.2 they should provide the required codecs to use this.
Am still searching for a solution.

Same problem - I'm a bit disappointed with Twonky v5.1.2. Seems to have a lot of issues - at least with the WHS release.

FFMPEG licencing may prevent providing it, You should install it via your OS.
Ubuntu/Debian apt-get install ffmpeg
Windows download from here: http://ffmpeg.arrozcru.org/builds/

Re: TMS 5.1.2 + Video transcoding options not available
The options in the web interface are for background transcoding, where the system will transcode your files when the system is idle.
It seems you are after on-demand transcoding, that is different. Use the site search, you have to setup the ffmpeg.location and possibly the .desc files in the cgi-bin directory.
This is also a good intro to setting up transcoding, it allows the PS3 to play FLAC (by transcoding it to WAV).
