Well, it is capable of transcoding some files. I play the files on my Roku; I select "Direct Play" but most videos are not supported by the "Direct Play" mode so I have to select transcode. It usually plays fine 90% of the time and I never get any buffering except for the initial buffer but sometimes I play a movie that needs to buffer every 5-20 seconds for about 5 seconds or so. I have noticed that filesize seems to play a part in whither or not a movie needs to buffer. files that are 1.8GB in size or less seem to have no issues while files that are greater than 2GB have buffer issue. What's extremely odd is that I get less buffering of these larger files when I select a large viewing format (20Mbps 1080p). I don't understand. My thought was that it was closer to the the original file and therefore had to process less. Any thoughts?
