Was wondering if anybody can share their script that they are using in windows to covernt mkv files to mp4 so PMS can do a direct play over to the clients that are streaming. I want to also keep the dts audio so I can stream local and use my surround sound, is it possible to have both audios?

Hey Flex, I did a google search on part of your request above and found a few interesting links.

thank you I did come across this few days ago, like you mentioned I had a look and most of the viewing is either direct play or direct stream.
