Re: MakeMKV OSX - Non-Compliant Output File

Only the latest "snapshot" version of VLC can play VC-1 video. Please check MKV files with MKVToolnix whether they have VC-1 video tracks.

"No suitable decoder module VLC does not support the audio or video format "WVC1". Unfortunately there is no way for you to fix this."
"No suitable decoder module VLC does not support the audio or video format "undf". Unfortunately there is no way for you to fix this."
The audio plays, but there's no video.
Discs attempted were the first two discs from the new Doctor Who - The Complete Specials boxed sets - "The Next Doctor" and "Planet of the Dead".
Love this application - you're enabling me to watch my Blu-Ray discs on my MacBook Pro, something Apple doesn't seem to be in any hurry to do. Many thanks for the work.
Yeah, big MakeMKV failure! It likely produced a perfectly valid MKV file, but since VLC doesn't support interlaced VC-1, it's obviously MakeMKV's fault.captain wrote:It was a pretty massive failure of MakeMKV though, and I had hoped that I could help in resolving it.

The whole point of MakeMKV is that it does NOT transcode.captain wrote:It would be awesome if MakeMKV would recognize that the blu-ray to be ripped is encoded in MicroS**t's VC-1 format, or whatever, and since we all know that VC-1 is problematic, maybe MakeMKV could pop up an alert, and give some options on how to most effectively deal with this fact. e.g.: "This disc is encoded with MicroS**t's crappy VC-1 codec which VLC won't understand. Would you like me to transcode it to 264.H or something so it will play on your PS3?"
