makemkv does not work more...

Post by KCO.CL »

For a few days mkv come with problems on top of the screen out large blocks and frozen images every second, impossible to enjoy.

I tried tsMuxer to m2ts and works well out of the same source.

I tried installing older versions of makemkv and the same result, what will?

I think I understand your problem.

I tried something like this...
-Make a mkv with makemkv
-Extract video/audiotracks with MKVExtract.
-Join with Yamb to make 1 MP4 (1 video and 1 audiotrack).
When I play it with my TV in streaming, this could works 100%I or I could have different frozen pixel effect I think it's depend on ACSS version within the h264 format.

The MP4 and Mkv play correctly on the PC without error.

I think MakeMkv doesn't keep the "Standard allocation" of h264 correctly in some case (ACSS version) or the hardware (my TV) doesn't understand correctly the ACSS version or perhaps the MediaCenter (Windows 7 in my case)(ACSS version).

But I have a work around, just reencode/transcode the MKV source.
I use Handbrake (Custom: 1080p HQ setting). Since I reencode the source with x264, all my MP4 play perfectly.

KCO.CL could you give more detail about your problem?

Did your mkv has already worked?
What is your CPU? (m2ts is easily run by the CPU).
Did you install/uninstall software like FFShow, Haali, VLC, CoreAVC or Mplayerc?
What is the program you use to read your file?
Did you have some problem with your harddrive (do scandisk)?
What is your OS?

Any other revelant information?

Yeah I have already see something like this with Alice and Toy Story 3.

I'm not sure what cause this problem.
I think is the "ACSS version" could be not completly understand by the player
OR some extra data extract during the decrypt.

But at the end, the H.264 source aren't standard for being played directly from a player (like LG).
(I also had this issue stream from Windows 7 media center to my Samsung TV, this is why I think is the ACSS format. But when I play it with mplayerc, he play perfectly.)

PC most time is more up to date or could easily remove extra data.

Perhaps someone from MakeMKV could confirm this issue. (Being player related or to fix in MakeMKV)

But I have a work around.
You just need to reencode your movie with a application.
I recommend you Handbrake.
Just create a custom setting, 1920x1080, 1 pass x264, 18 to 25mbits, 1 audiotrack, 4 bframes.
