Thank you!

I used to use a website that told how to format episodes so that apps could correctly display things like Season x, Episode y and maybe title names, etc. I'm using InFuse on AppleTVs but I can't get it to read the files properly. My server is a UnRaid 12TB array which is accessible on my LAN. I thou...

Here's one I found. I am using the latest versions of mkv and XBMC, btw. File: /Volumes/Multimedia/Movies/Almost Famous.m4v Size: 1.40 GB Format: QuickTime/MPEG-4/Motion JPEG 2000 format Stream count: 2 Duration: 02:03:06 Bit rate: 1629 kb/s Meta info: creation_time: 1970-01-01 00:00:00 encoder: Dig...

I have well over 100 DVD files on my HTPC. All of the Blu-ray files show up in XBMC as 5.1 or 7.1 audio. Virtually all of the standard def DVD files (the majority) show up as 2.0 audio, even though I have selected 3/2.1 or whatever the best audio option may be. What am I doing wrong?

Yes, I have used the search function. I want to use a Raspberry Pi with XBMC to play DVDs I have ripped using MakeMKV. They say that they cannot playback MPEG-2. The only info I can find in properties says the format is .mkv. I think that is the container but what is the format?

I think I follow, but when I view the list of movies in XBMC, those that I didn't check show up as 2 channel stereo.

Every single Blu-ray that I rip with makemkv has the HD 5.1 audio unchecked by default. I have to make sure to check that option, otherwise all I will get is 2 channel stereo. Is there a way to have 5.1 automatically selected?

Thanks for the insight, you are correct. But I have to ask, why is the default setting that the AC3 (or whatever) box unchecked? I reripped a couple DVDs and had to expand the triangle then check the box so I wouldn't be stuck with 2.0 audio.

I was looking thru my 100+ movies ripped with makemkv recently. I noticed that MOST of them are in 2.0 audio. Just a few show 5.1. When I rip, I chose the one large file to save and not the other small files. Is that where the other audio options are stored? Or is there something else I need to do?

WOW!!! that was fast, thanks

One thing missing from this excellent program is the option to UNCHECK ALL. Some DVDs may have more than a dozen files for extras or other stuff. It would be nice to hit uncheck all and then select just the few files that I want.

thanks, all. I did as suggested w/handbrake and all is well.

I'm going to use the ATV in my motorhome, so no internet, no streaming. Can I get the .mkv videos on the ATV without using iTunes?

I have a home theater PC and have about 140 movies on my HD (that I have copied from DVDs I own). I have used MakeMKV exclusively to rip to DVDs into a single folder called VIDEOS. I also have, for another TV, a first gen Apple TV. From iTunes, I have selected the VIDEO folder on the HTPC to import ...

I wound up deleting them by command line. Even safe mode didn't do it.
