P.S. UAC can be renabled once the permissions on the trancode buffer folder has been changed, however you will be asked on startup if you want to run transcode360.

Hi Everyone,

I got it working on x64 Windows 7!

I followed this guide and when I attempted to stream to the 360, it would restart the extender.

After reading through the comments, it did seem like a permissions issue, and since Transcode is only reading from its buffer folder I figured that was the folder causing the issues. So I gave read/write access to “authenticated users” on that folder. I wasn’t sure of the username that media center uses so this was the easy fix and after looking at all my other media folders I wasn’t looking forward to guessing (particualy when there were quite a few SID and UID’s in there!)

Thank you very much for the guide!

when i get to the step and try to “Right click on Transcode360.exe and click properties. Go to the compatibility tab and select run as administrator.” command promt opens with another error window with windows service start failure. this has a whole paragraph explaining that a windows service needs to be installed.
what now, will this affect things?

I’ve got it setup, but when I use Mencoder, I get random languages. When I use VLC, I get NO audio, only video. Anyone ran into this issue and fixed it?

BTW, there is an x64 version of VLC that you can use for transcoding.

Worked perfectly on 1st installation for me, however the next day get error: “unable to transcode” with the following in event viewer: “MEncoderTranscoder unable to handle request”
Very frustrating – I was sooo pleased to finally get it working on Windows 7 x64

Transcode360 works flawlessly for me in RTM x64 build of Win7. No hacks needed, although I did force it to install to Program Files instead of the x86 folder.

I have RTM windows 7, media browser works great on PC. On my extender, i get the famous “unable to transcode” message.
I have tried this method, and have not been able to get it work. Here are my problems:

1) after installing, I had no errors, and the transcode tray started just fine. I killed the .exe, and edited MSCONFIG anyway.

After creating the registry file and making sure the .exe starts as administrator, loading from console failed. I am presented with a message about a windows server cannot be started from command line.

Thinking to my self, hey, maybe this works in RTM, i re-select auto bootup for Transcode 360 in msconfig, reboot.
Transcode 360 starts in the tray. I have no idea if this is good, or a desiered result.
I open media browser configuration, and there is no extender tab to fill in this information.

Any help would be appreciated.
