Why is H.264 video without subs transcoded?

[abhijeet]

The PS3 has native decoding for MPEG-4/H.264 video. If there are no subtitles, why does the server transcode the video to MPEG-2? Is there a way to remux the video without transcoding?

Thanks!

you should check with mediainfo what settings have been used to encode the video. Usually the 2 biggest culprits are the H264 level (no more than L4.1) and reference frames that have been set too high and can only be played on PC as a result

also, you need to use latest version

Thanks! It plays without transcoding with the latest version.
