I am trying to get files to convert to mp4 h.264 to use on my home network. I have a weak link in a Samsung smart tv ued8000 led smart tv that's really fussy with files.
I also have humax PVR and a boxee box. These generally play everything. I had been making files as avi as Samsung seemed to like them but had one the other day that the humax and boxee couldn't play. I want to go to mp4 really and have downloaded videos before in mo4 that work on everything, including the Samsung.
I am trying to get a good method that I can generally stick with for all files where possible.
For example this doesn't work
