[FCVPI99]

ok so i have installed and uninstalled about 8 codec packs that CLAIM they let media player play MKV

does anyone know codec packs that will play both sound and VIDEO on media player 12

Are you sure that sound it actually in the file? Got another comuter to test the files on?

Install only the Shark007 codecs, nothing else. Open the Settings Application and Press Reset All to help fix any inconsistancies in your system files then place a check in the box for SUGGESTED settings.

As requested...

AC3
AC3Filter downloads | AC3Filter
Matroska
Matroska Splitter
Matroska Diagnostic utility
http://www.matroska.org/files/MatroskaDiag.exe
AVC
MPEG AVC DivX H.264 Decoder

If all fails try the Diagnostic utility.

Thanks for dropping in Shark007, i was almost going to shoot you a request as I find your codec pack the most stable.

already tried shark and i did what he said already also still nothing
my guessing if the MKV were messed up finial media player would not play them ether but it does..

again isnt AC3 for SOUND - sound is fine its the video

 

[FCVPI99]

ok so i ran Matroska Diagnostic utility on the file and this is the report

Can you please PM me a link to the problem file so I can troubleshoot it here?

 

[FCVPI99]

[baarod]

i did see above

I mean S01E01-02 - Rising (HD).mkv

 

[FCVPI99]

its a 1.12 GB file on my hard drive

Yep AC-3 is sound and AVC is MPEG4. The obvious difference between the ones that won't play and the ones that will play (from your captures) is the Audio codec, There are often different versions of the same codec and each may react differently with various players, I guess that's why someone suggested that you replace this codec as well (even though sound is working).

- Did your try the direct driver links I posted earlier?
- Did you try to install GOMplayer, play the file and if it works try WMP again?

Can you point me a where you got it or make it available so I can analyze it? PM if you want.

You can cut a 2 min video out of it (for example using Avidemux), upload it somewhere and post a link to it for download.

Thanks for providing the file. It's hideously busted according the the specification author's own tool mkvalidator available for Windows here Downloads for Windows | Matroska

Here's the output:

file created with matroska muxer by Alexander Noe, build date Aug 30 2008 / AVI-Mux GUI 1.17.8, Aug 30 2008 12:36:58

Whatever was able to play that file was doing it out of pure, dumb luck. I tried to fix the file with mkclean.exe and it too promptly crashed. I'd bee looking for another copy of that episode...

 

[Wishmaster]

The mention of Keyframes would be setting in the x264 encoder itself. If thats all screwed up, the only way to fix it is grab an original copy of the disc and recode it completely.

Unless the app that created the MKV broke it. Not sure what the AVI-Mux is it mentions or how well it works but ...
Maybe try demuxing to raw files and re-muxing with MKVmerge, but thats doubtful it will work.

mkclean.exe is a remuxer written by the folks that wrote the Matroska spec. It crashed trying to deal with this file. It's garbage and he needs a new copy.

ok well that kinda sucks i dont have original disk anymore

i found a program called make MKV beta its an ok program id rather use xilisoft DVD ripper so i coul drip to AVI cuz an hour long show is just over 1GB with MKV any they play on media player woo-hoo but from some reason no thumbnail view has anyone ever used this program??

on other note when installing shark007 why does he hide bing toolbar in the install there is no option to not install it and also why is Settings32.EXE in program files(x86)\win7codec\tools being flagged as high risk Cloaked malware by my AV??

 

[Shark007]

when installing shark007 why does he hide bing toolbar in the install there is no option to not install it

It is not hidden, you agree to its installation during the install process. It is installed as an attempt to help support FREE software. I have spent litterally 1000's of hours developing this FREE software and the Bing bar puts a few $$ in my pocket. It can be uninstalled from Control Panel | Programs and features.

why is Settings32.EXE in program files(x86)\win7codec\tools being flagged as high risk Cloaked malware by my AV??

It is a well known FALSE POSITIVE as a result of the scripting language, AutoIt, which I use to develop Settings32.exe. If you take the time to notify your antivirus and or your malware provider, they will investigate and remove it from their detection process.
