Mkv Files

Hiya
I have Creative Zen MX
I have MKV files!
Do i have to convert it to some other file before putting on my Zen? and if so any info / advice please
THANKYOU :smileyvery-happy:

Guys there:
First, you should be aware that Creative Zen supports video/audio formats including WMA, MPEG, AAC, MP3 and etc.
Next, you just need an effective MKV Converter to convert MKV files to one of the formats so that you can put your files played on your creative Zen. I always use Moyea MKV Converter which can convert MKV files to almost all the formats like FLV, MPEG, AVI, WMA, AAC, MP3, MOV and so on. What attracts me is its nice output video and audio effect with this MKV Converter.

Is there a way to play flv & mkv file formats through media element in windows 8.1 app ?

i am trying to develop a video player so i just thought Is there a way to play flv & mkv file formats through media element in windows 8.1 app ? , coz when i tried media element it is supporting only mp4 & avi formats.

Here is a list of Media Foundation codecs
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/dd757927(v=vs.85).aspx
For the rest of the formats you have you write your own MFT-based codec and ship the codec with your app. See also
implementing a Codec MFT (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/dd757274(v=vs.85).aspx)
Media extensions sample (https://code.msdn.microsoft.com/windowsapps/Media-extensions-sample-7b466096)
MKV and FLV are just container formats, though, you need to survey some video files to see what video codecs are actually in streams and support them one by one. Supporting some proprietary video formats may involve licensing costs from patent holders.

I have Quicktime 7 on my new MacBook Air running Yosemite 10.10.1 but would like to know if I can view or run my .mkv movies/files? Or are there any approved software that can run or view my .mkv files. Thanks.

I have a new MacBook Air running Yosemite 10.10.1 with Quicktime 7 but would like to know if I can view my .mkv files on Quicktime 7 or are there any approved software I can run that's safe for Yosemite 10.10.1.

Hello kimosabe0731,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities! At this time, QuickTime does not support the playback of .mkv files. For more information, see the following resource:

Stor.e TV + - playing .mkv files have sound but no picture

I've just transferred all of my .mkv files onto my store TV + but most of them have sound but no picture?They play fine on my PC...
Also,anyway of changing the icon on the folder to the actual dvd cover on the store TV +?Sick of looking at yellow folders!!
Thanks..

Hi
Found the StorE TV+ specifications on this Toshiba page:
http://www.toshiba-multimedia.com/eu/store-external-hard-drives/tv-plus/
The Store TV+ supports the video formats:: MPEG1 (DAT, MPG), MPEG2 (VOB, MPG, TS/M2TS/TP TRP), MPEG4 (AVI, MP4, MKV), VC-1 (WMV), H.264 (AVI, MKV,MOV, MP4), RM/RMVB (RM/RMVB)
The MKV files are supported by MPEG4 and H.264 video format.
Are the files recorded in this formats?
How about playing other files i.e MPG or AVI?
Furthermore I would recommend checking the connection to the TV.
Here is a user manual which I found on the Toshiba page:
http://www.toshiba-multimedia.com/Global/Manuals/Store/Manuals/STORE_TVplus_User_Manual.pdf
It shows you how to connect the Store TV+ correctly.

Playing .mkv files in QTX/QT7 video works fine, sound is distorted.

What I'm trying to do is open some .mkv files in Quicktime 7 so that I can export it as an mp4 with AAC audio (instead of AC3, 5.1). The audio during playback ends up sounding like a helicopter or what you'd hear if you stuck a piece of sandpaper in a box fan. When I play the files in VLC the audio is as it should be. I'm at a loss as to what the problem could be. I have version 1.2.1 of Perian installed as well if that helps at all.

It could be a 'difficult' form of Matroska file. FYI Matroska is just a container like MOV or AVI, and some mkv have the video encoded with Real Video Codec (RV9 RV10). Perian+QT can't decode this, but VLC will play .mkv files just fine on OS X, as long as they don't use H.264!
It's a bit of a lottery until Matroska decide to support the Apple platform. I have found this:
http://mkv4mac.free.fr/index.php?lang=en&p=lec
which may help.
But there may be another workaround: 1. Get Info the mkv file
2. Change to extension to wmv. Save as wmv and that could work better.
Or this link may be helpful:
http://www.squidoo.com/mkv-converter-mac
Recently, a poster (ZachP14) suggested this:
"There's a program called Plex that runs .mkv files awesome on my 2.0 ghz macbook."
http://www.plexapp.com/
Maybe worth a try?

'open in' function not working for MKV files

Does anyone have an issue with using the 'open in' feature to play MKV files in another application? I have 3 applications that support MKV movie files but if I copy a MKV movie to GoodReader or FileBrowser and then use the 'open in' feature, it says there are no registered applications that support this file type. AVI files on the other hand work fine with all 3 applications offering themselves up in the 'open in' feature.
I have 3 media players that support MKV files and I have tred reinstalling them all with no effect. I have also tried the open in from FileBrowser, Dropbox and GoodReader and then reinstalled these apps as well but still no success so I believe it is an issue with IOS. They all work fine on my iPad 1, this issue ony affects my iPad 2 but I set this one up as a new iPad and didn't restore it from my iPad 2 so not sure why this is. I spoke with one of the DEVs who was very helpful but he couldn't replicate this issue on his iPad 2.

If "Open Containing folder" is grayed then the files are not longer in the original download location.

WMP will play some mp3 and mkv files to my Sony TV but not others

Hi,
Windows Media Player will play some mp3 and mkv files to my Sony Bravia TV (KDL70W850B) but not others. I get the error: “Failed to retrieve media information”. Sometimes if I make a copy of the files that don’t play, I am able to play the copied files.
I normally right click on files and select ‘Play to’ and then pick my TV from the list. The following is an example of some files (as displayed in Windows Explorer) and which do and don’t play:

I have stopped and restarted the Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service and the UPnP Device Host Service; I also linked a Windows Live ID but this did not help. All devices have access to my PC and my TV has the latest software.
I have Windows 7 and WMP 12 and according to my TV specs, the DLNA supported formats are: MPEG1/ MPEG2PS/ MPEG2TS/ AVCHD/ MP4Part10/ MP4Part2/ AVI(XVID)/ AVI(MotionJpeg)/ MOV/ WMV/ MKV/ WEBM/ 3GPP/ MP3/ WMA/ LPCM/ JPEG/ MPO
I would appreciate any help you can offer.
Thank you

It seems to be an issue with Sony Bravia TV. According to the following article:
Supported File Formats for DLNA® and USB Compatible Sony® TVs
Under -Not all files are guaranteed to play.
Sometimes HandBrake
does help. I shall suggest you to contact Sony Bravia TV support.

Can apple TV be made to play .mkv files?

Has anyone been able to make apple TV play .mkv files?

If you install http://perian.org/ quicktime will be able to play mkv files including the ac3 audio.
You can use Quicktime to save the file as a mov which should then play on the AppleTV. Personally I use VisualHub, it's much faster and allows you to queue up a batch to process. It will depend on your system, but my machine will recode a TV show in approx. 30mins.
The Visualhub method will loose the surround sound. AC3 and DTS are not supported by the mp4 container so it will be converted to stereo. You should be able to keep the AC3 or DTS in a mov, but I've not tried this so I don't know whether the AppleTV will play the file.
As the new firmware will allow for HD movies with surround sound (according to the MacWorld keynote) there might be a fix for this then. We'll have to wait for someone to rent a movie and see what the container and codecs used are. Hopefully we'll be able to use 5.1 AAC and the AppleTV will convert that to AC3 out of the optical output for my surround amp as AC3 and DTS take up a lot of space.

Mkv file problem

Is there anything that caused vlc to not be able to load some audio track in an mkv file? I have an mkv file that I can't the sound in vlc, but the file plays well in windows. I've choosen the audio track, but there is still no sound

VLC can't play the audio track because the right codec isn't installed. I can't tell which one it is tho. Try it in Windows to get more information about the audio stream.

Mkv file problems

hello,
I recently downloaded a Mkv. file. after looking through some previous discussions I downloaded teh extractor for this, it extracted a .ram video and a .acc audio file. now I'd like to put the two together to make 1 file in a new converted Mpeg format.. how do I do this?
thanxs ahead

Maybe because mkvmerge compress the file (the obvious thing), only i'm guessing. I don't find a answer in google.

40TL938G: no sound playing MKV files

Hello,
Last week I have purchased a Toshiba TV, type 40TL938G and I have two major problems which bother me very much.
Today, I spoke to the Toshiba Call Center from Romania.
I'd like to tell me if the future this problems can be solve or I'll be forced to sell it, because this TV does not satisfy my expectations.
So, the first problem is that if I want to browse of the net on some movies sites and I can't really see them, which is very, very annoying for me.
The guys from Toshiba Call Center told me that it's because the browser don't support viewing of any movie but does not seem normal as long as Samsung, LG and Sony have resolved these problems and specialists from Toshiba don't till now.
This is a very bad advertisement for Toshiba TVs and if my friends and my clients ask me if I'm satisfied with the Toshiba products, I can say only that I'm not satisfied, really.
The second problem that bother me a lot and I'm unhappy again is that on package and features TV is written that this TV supports MKV files but nowhere and no one wrote that Toshiba TV support MKV files but no sound because the sound does not working.
I tried to do a firmware update for this model but no exist.
It's possible soon to solve these two problems? If these problems hasn't solutions I'll be forced to sell it and to make a bad advertising for Toshiba's products, because I'm IT dealer and I have many clients and I don't want to lie my clients about product defects.
I'm waiting for an answer from you, soon as possible.
Thank you.
Best regards,
Robert

The MKV files are supported. But the mkv files have to support the right audio codec!
Found the info in the user manual (page 90)
http://www.toshiba-om.net/LCD/PDF/English/TL938-4046-English.pdf
_MKV files_
*Video codec:* MPEG-1 Video, MPEG-2 Video, MPEG-4 part2, H.264 (MPEG-4 AVC)
*Audio codec:* MPEG-1/2 Layer2, MPEG-1/2 Layer3, Dolby Digital (AC-3), L-PCM, MPEG-2/4 LC-AAC, MPEG-4 HE-AAC
>The guys from Toshiba Call Center told me that it's because the browser don't support viewing of any movie
Sorry mate that you are missing some features but fact is that this is a TV browser and it may work differently than PC browsers. The manual says that this browser does not support platform-dependent technologies such as Active X and it supports only preinstalled plug-ins.
If flash plugin isnt preinstalled you will not be able to watch flash based content.
By the way: it occurs to me that you are thinking to speak to Toshiba stuffsorry mate, this is user to user forum and we all here are enthusiasts

How do I import mkv files to Final Cut Pro

Sorry if this has been asked before. I searched and didn't find a ton of specific information on this.
I am trying to work with some large HD .mkv files. These are 1080p videos. I have tried using Mpeg Streamclip with several settings such as ProRes 422, Mpeg4, and AIC. In all instances my import to FCP (v6.0.6) have been problematic. The biggest issue I have had is that I end up with sound synch issues or my 5.1 sound is dropped to 2 channel.
The only success I have had so far has been to use Handbrake to convert the .mkv files down to 720p (resulting in a .m4v file that isn't compatible with FCP), then convert again in Mpeg Streamclip to AIC (which FCP can handle). This resulted in an editable file format that FCP handled with no sound synch issues but I lost the 5.1 sound which is a real bummer.
Can anyone please provide me with some suggestions and a better work flow. My end goal is to be able to edit the footage and export to a 720p mass compatible format like .mp4. I really want to retain the 5.1 sound as well.
Thanks.

Never heard of .mkv myself but you may need to upgrade to Final Cut Studio 3, which you can't do any longer.

I Can't Play .MP4 and .mkv Files Backed up in Time Machine

I backed up My Macbook to an external hard drive in my passport / Time Machine. I am attempting to play both .mp4 and mkv files in quicktime and vlc respectively. They worked when they were on my computer, but I they won't open now. I even tried to copy them to my computer and play them that way. When I click on info, it shows the file size, and it seems normal. I updated both Quicktime and vlc, and it still doesn't work. Please help.

You wrote in your first post:

Then you wrote:
when it restored it, the file size was zero
Which of those statements is true?
