As suspected, powercfg in Windows 7 was no help whatsoever.

Currently, it appears that Wild Media Server will keep a computer awake indefinitely.

Hmm, tried that, but got a blank screen when I tried to stream.

Is MPEGTS equivalent to the AVCHD container?

Encoding for a 25fps 720p video was around 27fps for a 720x406 output, which seems marginal to me. All 4 cores were screaming, too. Is there a way to adjust whether the encode is optimized ...

Even lower bitrate AVCHD would be better than MPEG2 in a lot of circumstances.

I played back a relatively low bitrate H264 mp4 last night via USB and it looked fantastic. Much less noise than the MPEG2 transcodes I've seen. No macroblocking, either.

AVCHD also uses H264.

What a deal for this TV ...

I just bought a Bravia KDL-32EX308. I have Wild Media Server up and running and transcoding into MPEG2. However, the results look a bit blocky. After upping the bit rate to 6Mbit, it looks quite a bit better.

However, the TV also supports streaming in AVCHD. Is there a way to transcode to AVCHD ...
