I am attempting to convert my DVD collection to MPEG-4 format, move them to a DNS-323 NAS, and wirelessly play them using the MediaLounge capability of the DSM-750. I have tried a variety of tools to rip the DVDs to MPEG-4 format including Nero Recode 3, UltraRipper, and DVDFab. While some videos convert and play well, a number of videos have some form of error. Examples include a “blue screen of death” that requires a reset of the DSM-750, other videos will play for a period of time (5-minutes to over an hour) on the MediaLounge then the video begins to break up, and still other videos will have no sound. I use the Advanced Simple Profile as stated in the DSM-750 manual. Also, every one of these “problem” videos plays perfectly using Windows Media Player and Nero’s Showtime Player on my PC, so I am fairly certain the conversion process is not the issue.
Are there any updates planned for the MediaLounge software to make it more like Windows Media Player or the Nero Showtime Player and better handle MPEG-4 videos? Thanks
