I am in it.
I have a video in 1080p, with massive bitrates, and it totally destroys my system when I try playing it.
Specs: E1500 (2.2 GHZ, 512k L2 cache C2D)
4GB of Mushkin Blackline DDR2 800
BFG 9800GT low power NVidia card
For codecs I am running the latest CCCP, as well as AAC codec, and whatnot.
The files from hell. They are MPEG4 H.264 video, with AAC audio, stuck in an MKV container.
AutoGK doesn't do MKV files, so I'm stuck with AutoMKV. I installed all of the addon bits that AutoMKV came with.
The E1500 was having a hell of a time doing the transcoding, it kept freezing during the process and the process would remain in RAM, but got 0 CPU cycles, so I switched the transcoding over to a server that is idle 99% of the time. Transcoding rig's specs:
Prescott 3 GHZ 1meg L2
1 GB of ECC registered DDR2 667
Intel GMA 900 onboard video (if I have to, I can modify the PCIe 8X slot to take a real video card)
Ample HDD space
The problem is that no matter what, I cannot get the audio to work. Video works just fine, but end result, no matter what it is, lacks audio. I watched it do the final transcode part on the second to last attempt I made, and DirectVobDub ran, but the windows were blank. No idea if it errored out or what.
So, recap: Used my main box to attempt transcoding some hefty 1080p down to 640p (or smaller) with lower bitrates, and the process would simply stop. Used a server and it transcoded fine, but no matter what, there is no audio in the end result.
BTW, I attempted to transcode from a H.264 in an MKV container to a H.264 in an MKV container and keep the original audio, but it still refused to give me the freaking sound.
I'm quite frustrated and at the point of just dumping this darn stuff. I wanna watch it, but having the video lag 30 seconds and the audio just not work at all is not worth it on the original, and subtitled or not, I need the sound.

Guess it was in something the OP edited out, perhaps? Regardless...
