Re: One success, two failures

Hi,

I did try mplayer, with same result. I've never had a problem playing Matroska vids with vlc before, btw. However, I'm not sure I've ever tried to play an mpeg4 before, and that's what the Avatar Bluray has in it.

Make that three successes, three failures

I tried another one of my Christmas presents yesterday, the bluray extended version of Avatar. Makemkv was able to extract the mpeg4 video and create the .mkv file, but when played with vlc the video is jerky, pausing briefly ever couple of seconds. I am running Ubuntu 10.10 on a 64-bit system with ...

Re: Works well with DVD

I had better results with another of my Christmas presents, the Bluray edition of Revolver . The only issue that I had was that the movie was title1, not title0, so the playBluRay.sh script did not work. Title0 was a 365MB trailer for the movie. The mkv file of the movie was 23GB and had perfect aud...

Re: Works well with DVD

It was a Christmas present, so I don't know where it came from. The box has "Doctor Who The Complete Specials, 5 Disc Set" on the cover. On the back of the box is "2 entertain" which I assume is the region. The ISBN number is 1-4198-8928-1 Addl info: MakeMKV reports the title 0 a...

Re: Works well with DVD

Got my Bluray drive, but I'm not having much luck. I am trying my new BBC Dr. Who Bluray series, but decoding produces a .mkv file that has audio but no video when played with VLC. I am running vlc Version 1.1.4. Streaming with makemkvcon produces the same result for title0. Likewise title01.mkv has...

Re: Works well with DVD

Yes, I should have mentioned that I am still using my DVD, and you're right, the naming convention for Bluray is probably different. I'll test again when my Bluray drive gets here next Tuesday.

Re: Works well with DVD

Yes, I also ran makemkv and vlc manually, getting the same error in vlc. I would have suspected a firewall as well, but I don't have one running on this machine. I'm wondering if the makemkv output stream name has changed since this documentation was written. When I rip to mkv, the file names are ti...

Re: Works well with DVD

playBluRay is not working for me. My system is Ubuntu10.01 64-bit. I've got curl, MakeMKV and vlc installed. Vlc has this error after makeMKV has read the disc: Your input can't be opened: VLC is unable to open the MRL 'http://localhost:51000/stream/title0.ts'. Check the log for details. Here's the ...

Works well with DVD

I'm running Ubuntu 10.10, 64-bit. Makemkv v1.6.3 works well with a DVD -- nice app. I've got a Blu Ray drive on order from Newegg.com, I'll test again when it gets here.
