i get no error message, and the queue is still empty. just to be clear, when i click the 'add to queue' button for a job with a rendered subtitle track, nothing happens. i even copied the application folder from the vista machine, but nothing seems to make this work on my windows 7 server. i've tried restarting the application, restarting the server, reinstalling the application, etc. also, this is still working for me on my vista server, but it no longer works on my windows 7 server. if i remove the rendered subtitle track then everything works fine. i'm 99% sure this was working for me yesterday, but now today once i add the rendered subtitle track xmedia recode won't let me add the job to the queue. Noctua NH-D15 Chromax.I have a weird situation. The slightly lower video quality of Xmedia Recode can be overcome by bumping the bitrate up slight(which results in a slightly larger file).ĪMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D (Not sure what to do :/)Īsus ROG Crosshair VIII Dark Hero Bios 4201 Using an nVidia GPU with Xmedia Recode to do two pass encoding is much faster(twice as fast or more), but the result isn't as good of looking, IMO. Xmedia Recode can use the CPU or your GPU. However, the two pass encode from MeGUI give the best looking result, IMO. MeGUI uses just the CPU, which takes a long time, especially with H265. I personally transcode videos using MeGUI or Xmedia Recode. There are a lot of people that think transcoding with a lower bitrate will look terrible, but they'll also probably recommend using Plex media server, which does exactly that(and is piss poor at doing it to boot) and they probably don't even notice the quality loss.

Besides that, most of the source files have a bitrate that is higher than it needs to be, you'd be surprised how low you can go with bitrate before most people even notice it. If your source files are H264(AVC) then you can transcode the video files to H265(HEVC) and reduce the file size quite a bit with very little quality loss(unnoticeable to most people). There are a lot of ways to reduce file size on video files.
