Please excuse the n00b questions....

I have converted an ISO image to an MKV on my network drive as I know my Home Cinema will playback MKV's

The conversion seem to work but I ended up with multiple MKV files that my system will not read of the drive.

Any ideas?

Or any other ways to change the image file so I can play it on my TV??

Thanks.

Lee

You can't just "play MKV". MKV is a container that that contain pretty much any kind of video and audio. You're going to have to be more specific as to what exactly your "Home Cinema" supports.

Well its playing files that are marked mkv, with the VLC symbol on them so I presumed that's what they were.

What format could these files be that are marked mkv. if they aren't?

@LeeH.

Hi!

I have converted an ISO image to an MKV

What was the nature of the source material you used to first create the .ISO image file?

I didn't make it but I believe it was a blu-ray.

If you don't own the ORIGINAL source material (commercial Blu-ray disc) and didn't even create the .ISO image file, it is inappropriate to post any related questions at the MakeMKV forums...

Give more detail about what is your "Home Cinema".
Did this is a Media Center ?

If it's hardware like "HD Live", most hardware doesn't support mkv with multi audiotrack.
Try to make a MKV with just only 1 audiotrack. This could fix your problem.

I am having the same issue. I have done 10 HDDVD's so far & 4 wont play, wont even open.
My source is original HDDVD disk & I am also using MPC- Home Cinema for playback on my htpc.

Makemkv says successfully completed & the size is right, file just wont play.
Seems to be a glitch with makemkv...

@The Janitor

Please be good enough to post the requested specifics of the four HD-DVDs in the "Problematic HD-DVDs" thread here...

if you talk about "MPC- Home Cinema", you need special setting.
You need FFDShow and Haali correcly configure.

The easiest way is to install CCCP. (if you have already, uninstall and install)
