Re: MKV playback on Sony TV

Post by Woodstock »

Because your Sony, like most "smart" TVs, has a limited number of video and audio codecs that it supports. It may support the MKV file FORMAT, but MKV files can contain many different specifications for video, audio, and subtitle tracks. And "smart" TVs are particularly dumb when it comes to subtitle formats.

I process EVERYTHING through handbrake; if the destination usage is a TV without an attached media player, I use MP4 format and restrict things to the codecs that are supported in MP4. That maximizes TV compatibility.

thank you very much woodstock - handbrake worked even in mkv container - all i had to do was select the playstation1080p surround preset from the tree :mrgreen: - it tedious tho - on paper both encodes look the same but something just doesnt fit with sony codecs.

Re: MKV playback on Sony TV

If you look in the handbrake logs, it will tell you what the source file's configuration is, both for the video and audio. While Sony is a contributor to the definition of Bluray, the do not always support everything in the BD standard in all ways. Handbrake is going to output h.264 video and AAC audio in most presets, which gets around things like "device X does not like AC3 audio" or "Dolby Atmos not supported", as examples.

While I have lots of disk space (28tb on the media server), I treat MakeMKV's output files as the start of the process.

This is actually why Plex is so popular - it will try to convert the source to a compatible stream for each device, as it plays. I prefer to simply make versions that cover the major basis - my tablet presets will play on Apple and Android devices (and even the TVs), while the MKV files I reserve for the hardware playback devices smart enough to get all the features to work are still smaller than the original. I usually end up with 50% reduction in total space for both version vs. the original MKV. It makes the time handbrake spends doing the processing worth it.
