What actually decodes the video files?
Posted: Mon Oct 11, 2010 1:53 am
I'm running Twonky 5.0.56 on an HP EX485. Works fine streaming .MPG videos but says it can't stream .MOV files.
QUESTION: Does Twonky actually decode and stream the video file to my DLNA device? Or does it use "other" software to decode the file and then it just sends "video" to the DLNA device? I guess what I'm wondering is, if I installed a QuickTime player on my EX485 would Twonky 5.0.56 then be able to stream the .MOV file to my DLNA device? Or does Twonky actually need to know how to decode the .MOV video file itself?
Thanks
