Kkv files

[TonyDoe]

How do i activate DTS on dm 8000 using gemini 4.6 ? I get no sound with mkv files.

thanks for any help

[dubious]

Dunno about gemini images but generally speaking DTS cant be decoded by the box itself, it can only be passed through to an amp that can decode DTS, this can be done via spdif or the dvi/hdmi.

[raul]

another option is to convert dts to ac3 .

latest one i watched - the toon planet 51 mkv bluray , great funny movie btw .

Hi raul
Can you play mkv bluray files on your 8000?

[Quailman]

Hi raul
Can you play mkv bluray files on your 8000?

Yes 1080p no problems (even though its only 1080i).

[raul]

here is a little pic of an mkv movie ,

actually cbgb bluray is 720p up to 1080p , 24 frames per second - depending on the download . i figured videomode needs to be set to 1080p24 to get the best result !

[Quailman]

Ozoon experimental can even play m2ts but i haven´t got one to play smoothly yet.

[heathercar]

Yes 1080p no problems (even though its only 1080i).

HI quailman . good to see u back m8 .

i am not very up on this mkv thing ?? is mkv a picture format ?

and am i right in thinking you can either download films in this format or

you have to use some tools to convert films to this format.

and am i also right in thinking that some images will not play them.

is mkv the same format that bluray uses or as good as and what is m2ts is that better than mkv

[raul]

"The Matroska Multimedia Container is an open standard free container format, a file format that can hold an unlimited number of video, audio, picture or subtitle tracks inside a single file."

to summ it up ,

bluray movies can be stored in a single file thanks to mkv - it should work on any cvs based enigma2 images .

you should try it - i lost interest in HD channels - once i figured out there are actually current cinema movies available widely for download in 720p or 1080p , 24 frames per second - thanks to cbgb .

if your tv supports 1080p24 format , i found that videomode setting to be the best for bluray movies .

Hi m8, What raul said.


MKV is a file type that people use to covert m2ts to the same as AVI it a folder that can contain different video and audio types. M2ts is a raw blu ray file taken strait from the disc.

[heathercar]

thanks for that so as it stands your better of converting m2ts to mkv is that right.

can you put these files straight on to your hard drive and play them from there.

could you just tell me is mkv just as good as true bluray

[Phylos]

Yes 1080p no problems (even though its only 1080i).

Actually, 1080p24 is possible with mkv files using the autoresolution plugin with the appropriate settings enabled!

[raul]

exactly , thats what i had to do - the autoresolution plugin did the trick ;)

some older lcd's/plasma's do not support 1080p24 though , so they have to run them movies in 1080i :)

i'm lucky mine does run 1080p24/25/30 .

learn something new everyday. :cheers2:

Great thread, :respect-040:

Watched some x264 fikles is that the same~?

Looked in newbin but can't see Mkv???

[raul]

ofcourse you can , see the pic above i posted earlier .

the "m" in mkv stands for matroska - the guy who invented it :)

[heathercar]

:dupe: yes jeffmlover i have to admit it is abit funny now i have just read through it lol .

all new to me - this mr Matroska thing .

the trouble is these files are so big 6 gig .

thanks im looking forward to watching a matroska ill give it go tomorrow :woohoo-022:

[raul]

heh 6 gig you say , one of my matroska bluray movie is on 18 gig here :)

it does take space , but well worth it - if your tv supports 1080p24 .

As you say they are worth it. I have Terminator salvation.mkv thats 25 gig and just trying to rip take that (for my mum) thats 30 gig.

[heathercar]

As you say they are worth it. I have Terminator salvation.mkv thats 25 gig and just trying to rip take that (for my mum) thats 30 gig.wow 25 gig did you download that of the net or did you convert it fro a file i bet that mr matroska making a few quid selling blank discs on the side:auto:

[Quailman]

I got it from a friend dont know where he got it. Im still trying to get a m2ts file to work but am having problems coverting the VC-1 video to x264. If i cannot do it i will have a go at coverting one to MKV

[heathercar]

dont know weather its poss but i have about 2 thousand div x movies .

there all about 700 mb size - would it be poos to convert any of these ?

and what tool would you recomend.

is there any good sites for downloading large files ? i used to have itchy dogs cracked but thats gone now i had usenext craked on vista too - but i carnt crack it on windows 7 .

[Quailman]

There is no point coverting divx to mkv as you will not really gain anything.

Mkv is really for HD.

[heathercar]

Mkv is really for HD.i thought as much .

what files woul be good for converting preflably files that dont take so long to download

[Quailman]

i thought as much .

what files woul be good for converting preflably files that dont take so long to download

If your downloading then there should be no point in coverting unless it wont play on what you want it to.

[oldfart]

i thought as much .

what files woul be good for converting preflably files that dont take so long to download

If they don't take long to download - they aren't going to be BIG files, so they aren't going to be HD - which is the whole point.

[heathercar]

i would of thought that alot of matroskas on the net have not been shot in a true hd camera just upscaled or coverted from standard format ?
i dont know really.
up untill yesterday i never new mr matroska.

perhaps im barking up the wrong tree

gone gone fishing wahoooooooooooooooo :woohoo-022:

[Quailman]

To clear it up for you.

m2ts, mkv, avi, ect...... are just folders (file extensions) that are used to store different video and audio files.

The video and audio files can be different types depending on the sorce and can contain multiple layers eg two sound tracks DTS audio and ac3

m2ts is used on blu ray discs and people covert them to mkv so they can watch them on there media centers ie dreambox, ps3, xbox

When people covert m2ts, mkv, avi files they will edit the video and audio to make the file smaller for people who download, thats why mine is so big its not edited

Hope this helped.

[heathercar]

great me upto date now with mr matroska woopee

but im still going fishing wahooooooooooooooo :woohoo-022:

you never know i might catch a couple of them matroskas hehe

[eme]

you better watch them m8 right slippery buggers

[heathercar]

another option is to convert dts to ac3 .

latest one i watched - the toon planet 51 mkv bluray , great funny movie btw .

what would you recomend for converting dts to ac3 ??

i just downloaded a 12 gig film and the audi is dts and thanks guys for the auto resolution plugin i have the film playing at 1080p stunning pq

You must not of followed it correctly and I know its not for your xbox thats just a guide for MKV´s hence the name MKVextract and MKVmerge.

Just do as Raul says.

[heathercar]

ive got another program called pavtube mkv converter but at the moment its
saying6 hours left to convert it and i dont know how long after that.

how long will it roughly take on either your quailman or rauls for a 12 gig mkv file

[raul]

15 minutes .

[raul]

cool , i just figured out some mkv bluray toons i dl'ed have subtitles .
found them in main menu/subtitles :)

[Quailman]

You can also turn them on via the Text button.

[jeffdmlover]

Ok is the only way to load these to HD by FTP?
media/hdd/movie ???
Can you stream them from laptop to DM8000?Or any other way to play them?

Another quick qusetion?? I seem to get sound drop out with DTS films X264/MKV films.
Downloaded A-team and quite a few, going through my Onkyo 608 amp?

Thanks
