Star Wars Despecialized version MKV acts up my system

[Krawk]

Anyone here successfully ripped to MKV either the ISO or an actual disc of Harmy's Despecialized Edition 2.5 for Star Wars - The Original Movie (1977) ??

Let me explain what is happening. The resulting MKV file somehow makes Windows Explorer busy forever. The green progress bar up top (indexing??) fills up but never goes away. The file itself does not play in Media Player Classic. All attempts to delete the file result in a dialog that says it is Discovering Items, then forever says "Deleting"

Windows 7/64 Bit

So I used MKVToolNox to basically remux the file and the resulting file was also not able to be deleted.
I had to use a tool called Lock Hunter to delete the damned mkv files!

So what is so special about the bd iso and not being able to be deleted?

It is possible that the file name has something wrong with it. It is possible to create a file with a space at the end, which will confuse Explorer. Example:

"My_Movie .mkv" will appear as "My_Movie " in Explorer if you do not disable "Hide extensions for known file types". In that case, you won't see the space, and Explorer may not see it, either.

You can usually delete files like this by opening a CMD prompt, navigate to the folder it is in, and typing "del my<tab>" (where "my" is the first couple of letters of the file name, and <tab> is the tab key). If what comes up isn't the file you're trying to delete, <tab> again will find the next match, and so on. When you find the right one, hit <enter> and the file will either be gone, or you'll be asked to confirm the delete.

Also, check the directory for a hidden file thumbs.db, which might be part of the problem. Delete it if it is there, so Windows will rebuild it.
