Changing file names

#1 Post by andyb » Tue May 12, 2015 9:21 am

I've got a Panasonic TV, which has a software block on decoding MKV files. If you rename the file as .mp4, then they play fine. I usually do this at ripping stage under file name, but on one disc today, the file name option is removed, and only the computer generated name and the metadata language selection are there. Anyone able to explain this little piece of weirdness?

Make sure you've got a single title selected, and not the overall disk name. The Filename entry is only available when a particular title is highlighted on the left menu.

Yes, but it was all come by through using the program far more than I should.... ;)

It is a rare day when MakeMKV isn't running. I haven't fired it up today at all. But that's only because I'm between shipments from rightstuf.com and amazon.com....
