Re: Ubuntu can't play MKV files?

Theophile, I reinstalled the ati driver, latest 64 bit from ati.com. Upon reboot, it ate my kernel. Kernel panic and no boot. Libc.so.6 can't open share file. I had to reboot to the previous kernel. It installed OK on this one. Egad! Building vlc, mplayer, mediainfo, ffmpeg, matroska, makemkv and my...

Re: Ubuntu can't play MKV files?

Theophile, One additional note. I tried to play the 24 GB MKV file on a virtualbox xp/32bit install using latest 1.0.5 VLC for windoz 32 bit. Due to severe CPU limitations in virtualization, the video was quite choppy. It crashed and vanished away as soon as I tried to index into the middle of the v...

Re: Ubuntu Example Machine?

Theophile, >> you provided mediainfo output on the resulting file. I think that's proof that the product does what it's supposed to do All MediaInfo necessarily shows is that the mystery blob has some readable tags in the header. What does the body look like? Is it pixelated, decodable, choppy, wron...

Re: Ubuntu Example Machine?

Crowfax, My apologies. Due to your high level of product knowledge, I mistook you for a moderator or a company support rep. I am on a 30 day trial for makemkv. So far, all I have is a few dozen gigs of mystery data from the product which no standard Ubuntu viewer can make sense out of. You would thi...

Re: Ubuntu Example Machine?

Crowfax,
So, you sell you product for Linux but you have no idea whether or not it actually works there. Is that conscionable? Product testing would be a good idea before selling it.

No sale,

Re: Ubuntu Example Machine?

Crowfax, The problem was with libmatroska. I finally got a huge MKV file cranked out, but I can't read it with any linux tool. I looked at it with mediainfo and discover that it uses an evil software empire wvc1 video codec. That's a dirty trick to sneak a windoz video into an open source container ...

Ubuntu Example Machine?

Hi, From reading the posts here, it would seem that many people are spending a great deal of time trying to rip and view MKV files. How's this for an idea: Have one of your developers setup a plain Ubuntu system with nothing but the default tools and features to establish an Ubuntu (or any popular L...

Ubuntu can't play MKV files?

Hi, I am using makemkv latest compiled from source and actually created a huge mkv file. No player on ubuntu 9.10 can read it. Xine poofs away as soon as I select the file as though I hit exit rather than play. Vlc has no sound and 2 frames per second at full screen (2560x1600). It's single threaded...
