I could implement transcoding in a stand alone plugin for my needs. I do not have a need to do it on the fly, unlike the dvr-ms to wmv stuff. I really just want to have it do it either as soon as possible or on a schedule to mainly create standardized formats which makes it easier to use on the wireless media receivers and to reduce hard disk space requirements. But since core.transcoding already exists it just seems like a better approach to just expand the functionality to that of a full transcoding class rather than implementing the same transition twice. I might just rewrite that class and post it for review, if I keep the compatibility with what is there it will not cause any problems, what I would really like to do is be able to take a file to a stream, transcode one stream to another, write a stream to a file. Doing that will make the code much more reusable. When I have more ideas I will post them, maybe with some sample code that can run stand alone.

[QUOTE="sporktastic, post: 12397"] I could implement transcoding in a stand alone plugin for my needs. I do not have a need to do it on the fly, unlike the dvr-ms to wmv stuff.
