As I said in your other post the solution to play VC1 and WVC1 with mplayer is to use "-demuxer lavf" option on the command line. Makemkv does its job, take the video from a blueray and put it on a mkv, as simple as that. About the installation I don't understand what's the problem with co...

Again, please read the post and the forum you are reading, this is LINUX not Windows.

Try vlc I think that mkv is a format that vlc loves , also latest divx player should render mkv files fine , but vlc is the best solution , in case all fail try power dvd works wonders with any kind of video but subtitles are its Achilles' heel , newest version supposed to be better but still sux H...

You can use checkinstall to create .deb packages, but it would be great if the author give us official packages for major distributions when MakeMKV reaches stable status.

The best method, I think, is demux mkv and then compress video track with handbrake.

If you are trying to play a wvc1 mkv use -demuxer lavf parameter with mplayer, that should work. If this don't work you need to tell the order of codecs to use.

It's great to know that flac support is planed for later versions (you have one future buyer here ) but, do you think it would be possible to convert dts-ma to flac too?

I see Flac as an option not as a replacement of current core extraction. It is too exotic for hardware players yes, but not so much for software players; having in mind that htpcs is getting very common nowadays, i think it is an interesting option.

But what about flac? It can be played from a mkv container, it's free and open source, cross-platform and lossless. I think that if the objective of MakeMKV is to obtain a copy of a blue-ray disc movie with the same quality on to a mkv this is the way to go. On films that occupy around 25GB (Dark Kn...

It works here too. Thanks!
