It's not a codec issue. I used Nero Recode to compress these DVDs to Nero Digital. I've looked all over the net and have boiled it down to an audio compression profile problem. Nero Digital uses AAC encoding for the audio stream and not mp3. ATM, I just don't know what video/audio formats are supported by MDX.
I had originally transferred an mp4 video to my carPC system. I was getting an unsupported format error in windows media player and centrafuse couldn't play the video at all. Then I installed NeroVision, which includes Nero Recode and Showtime. After this, I was able to play the video in Windows Media Player with video and audio. Centrafuse is able to play the video stream, but am not getting any audio. I even added the mp4 and aac extension to the list of supported audio formats in CF's config.xml file, but no dice.
Correct me if I am wrong, but doesn't MDX use the same codecs as any other multimedia applications for proper playback of multimedia files? Why would WMP play this file correctly and an app written in C# using MDX code play the file w/o audio?
Quicktime 6.5 supports mp4 playback, but the profile used by their codec causes mp4s made with Nero Recode to look like crap. I would love to get this working, because at the moment, Nero Digital's video quality looks better than Divx for the same file size and compresses faster.
Well, I'm at work now and left my home PC compressing the same movies to Divx. When I get home I'll check to see if they will play properly in CF and if they do, I guess I'll have to bite the bullet.
