(update the next release of Handbrake will include DTS pass thru for MKV containers) The only problem with Handbrake is that there is currently no DTS pass Thru, although AC3 passthru works just fine. Handbrake is the app I use to encode video.
Plex for mac os x movie#
If the movie has bitrates that don't climb over 30mps you may not need to re-encode.
Plex for mac os x 1080p#
(note: Plex 0.7.14 has introduced issues with playback of some blu-ray 1080p material.)Īfter working with AnyDVD HD and TSmuxer to get the full quality m2ts ripp, see if you can play it. Understand that there are many other factors that come into play when playing back video, biterate is just one of the many factors im focusing on. So any Blu-ray with bitrates that climb over 40mps will need to be re-encoded with a cap on bitrate. while it can handle small spikes into the 30s, it will soon drop frames as well as cause audio drop outs and sync issues when peaking in the 40s. The Mac Mini 1.83ghz and Plex (0.7.13) have trouble playing anything with a bit rate over 40mps. I can control Plex and the Mac Mini right from my chair.
Check it out for yourself, its very easy to setup and use. I decided to use and iphone app called Air Mouse. Back on the computer you will be controlling, open the finder and under Shared you will see your other Mac(s), select and choose to "share screen".Ĭontrolling Plex and/or the mini with my iPhone. on the mac(s) you want to control, enable screen sharing by going into System Preferences->Sharing and check on screen sharing. Controlling anything involved with the Mac Mini. Transferring the finished encodes to the Mac Mini can be done via screen sharing aswell.
Plex for mac os x pro#
Screen sharing makes this easy for me to do right in my living room as My Mac Pro is out in my studio and would take sometime getting to. I commonly use my QuadCore Mac Pro to do a lot of my encoding. basically I can control all my macs from my one laptop (my MacBook Pro). One of the coolest things you can do In Leopard 10.5 is screen sharing. A reversion back to the earlier VC-1 decoder as well as some "special sauce" to speed things up in Plex. Some time within the next day, Elan and the other Plex developers will be releasing 0.8.1. It seems we've been making some headway with the issue. Plex is my preferred application, but I may investigate XBMC a little more. So for me I stay at 0.7.13 where my content plays more consistently. This issue has followed Plex in its latest. Hopefully after the XBMC guys isolate the issue it will be reported to FFmpeg guys, and the fix will eventually trickle it's way down to Plex.Īfter updating from 0.7.13 to 0.7.14 I experienced skipping of video and dropping of audio, none of which happened under.
Plex Shudders and drops Audio with some 1080p contentĪ support ticket was also created over at XBMC here: XBMC Support Ticket After much prodding on the Plex forums the issue seems to have finally gotten some attention, strangely enough from an XBMC developer. Its seems that this introduction of FFmpeg may be the reason for the current playback issues in Plex, mostly with 1080p content. Back with the release of Plex 0.7.14, FFmpeg 0.5 was introduced.
