Hi all,
I have setup my brother with my old machine, which is a capable 1.5GHZ athlon with 512MB and 200GB of storage spread over three harddrives and running winxp. My dad also has a computer which is a 166MHZ / 200MHZ pentium with 64meg of ram and running windows 2000...
My brothers machine is filled with movies in divx / xvid and I will shortly be setting it up with a MPEG2 encoding card to record from our sky box... I would really like a solution where I could transcode the divx files into mpeg 1 and play them on my dads computer over the network on our TV downstairs.
The 1.5gig should easily be able to realtime transcode to mpeg 1? I think so... I'm looking for a software solution to let me do this. I will be looking into VLC as I know it supports streaming with transcoding. Ideally I would like to be remotely able to select the film I wanted to view and have the powerful computer automatically transcode it...
Any ideas or suggestions?
