Harry Potter 2 - Chamber Secreets (Won't Load)

[salesmerlin]

Greetings,
Can anyone tell me if they know of a solution for this problem...
Completed saving the files on the Blu-Ray Disc for Harry Potter 2 - Chamber of Secrets, but the main movie file will not play (load).
Everything from the MKV front seems to have gone off without a hitch; just can't get the file to play.
Thank you in advance for any support (advice) anyone may be able to suggest.

Update...
Probably should have mentioned that I am using XMBC for playback, and that I don't see the customary image (jpg) - but only the film strip image.
Seems to also be the case for Harry Potter 3 - Prisoner of Azkaban.
Thanks for reading.

Hi, are the MKV's VC-1? please post output of mediainfo.

[salesmerlin]

So sorry, I'm sure that I'm noobing it, but...
When should I look to find out if they are VC-1?
Is this under MKV program preferences, the properties of the actual MKV file, or somewhere else?
Thanks for the support

Then open file, then post output here.

yup, VC-1. thats probably why xbmc is barfing on it.

does it play on a recent build of mplayer?

[salesmerlin]

Mplayer? is that MicroSoft Player, or something else? I haven't tried that, but will. Any thoughts on how to fix the VC-1?

[Icanseestars]

Something looks wrong there unless I'm mistaken it looks like the video is only 160MB in size & that is not right, whats the file size say in windows explorer ?

XBMC does play VC-1 in MKV, I have Batman Begins ripped this way and it does play.
