Since the developers of WDlxTV are not planning a version using the WD 1.06 base firmware until it is more bug free. ( most recent discussion re. 1.06.34 and .38 ) And since I regularly use the added features of WDlxTV I came up with my own workaround for the .mkv Blu-ray subtitle issue. I learned t...

D'uh, you should have posted this screenshot first cause now I've realized what you meant by "gibberish". PGS subs looked like this on the original WDTV Live before they fixed it in firmware 1.06.15. I haven't followed WDLXTV-Live but since it is based on the official 1.05.04 firmware, yo...

Here are examples of what appears on screen when subtitles are enabled with WDTV.

How about uploading a 3 min sample clip to a filehoster? You should split the file with TSMuxerGUI rather than MKVToolnix so the latter can be ruled out as cause for any possible change to the sub. Once we have the sample clip, we can extract the subs before and after using MakeMKV on them. All cli...

If it's a WDTV PGS rendering bug, since MakeMKV does not re-encode anything, it's unlikely to be fixable (read: qworked around) in MakeMKV. One thing you could try is a double remux: 1) MakeMKV's output -> mkvmerge GUI (disable zlib compression***) -> mkvmerge's output 2) mkvmerge's output -> mkvme...

Thanks for the suggestions. I appreciate them. Unfortunately I don't have the time right now to figure out other software. The reason I paid for MakeMKV is to avoid all that. :) Whether the issue is with MakeMKV or the WDTV may be splitting hairs, and I probably shouldn't have brought it up in the f...

@ crowfax, chetwood: Obviously what I'm seeing is not impossible, as I am seeing it consistently with two different Blu-ray rips. Each of which I have re-ripped with the same result. However, it seems to me that the point you are making is ruling out the WDTV as the issue and pointing to MakeMKV. H...

@ doryphone: Yes, I'm using the WDTV advanced profile. @ crowfax, chetwood: Obviously what I'm seeing is not impossible, as I am seeing it consistently with two different Blu-ray rips.

Just ripped two Blu-ray discs, Neil Young Journeys and The Last of the Mohicans - Definitive Directors Cut , using the WDTV profile. I don't generally use subtitles but in these cases I wanted them available. The subtitles from both rips display fine when played with VLC on my PC, but when played vi...

No luck. 1.1.0 doesn't work any better than 1.1.4. Same result.

In the past, VLC has had all sorts of trouble with .VC1 video. The only version I've had success with regarding .VC1s is v.1.1.0 Thanks, I'm a noob at this stuff. Probably should have taken my question to a VLC forum first, but thought it would be worthwhile bringing up here, since other MakeMKV us...

I am getting no video via VLC when playing mkvs made from this new Blu-ray release ( Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Concerts - The 25th Anniversary ). All of the same mkvs play video fine with my WDTV Live thru HDMI. Audio plays fine with both players. The video codec from the Blu-ray is Windows Media...
