File playing problem with VLC and MPC

[Fahim]

Hello everyone,

I am new to this forum, and I must say what a wonderful program MakeMKV is.

I tried to convert a few dvd to mkv and the problem I am facing is the mkv file runs in vlc, and then crashes withing seconds, sometimes minutes, specially when I try to fast forward (Ctrl+right arrow) in vlc. And MPC just stutters.

Please advise. Is there anything I am doing wrong or is it just a bug which will hopefully be fixed in the next release.

Thank you everyone for helping me. I am in love with this program, makes it so easy to convert them, only If there was a workaround.

Hi Fahim,

I use OS X and I gave up on VLC for playing my MKV files (ripped from DVD), same problem you experienced. I found that MPlayer works well (on Mac anyway, using MPlayer OS X Extended) as long as you set the screenshot location to "Disabled" - something to do with the way filters are processed was causing glitchy playback problems. Give it a try!
