Situation is:

Vista (32) Media centre.
Graphics NVidia 8400GT
2GB Ram
Athlon 6400+ with all the stuff

mkv / mp4 convertion crap using winavi mp4 converter.


Have a film in mkv format, downloaded off the net.

Use the Winavi mp4 converter to do the job so I can use vista media centre.

Try the convertion for 3 mins & then abort......... This leaves a file.

The resulting file will play no problem with vista MCE.

Why is it when I let the convertion run to its completion that vista MCE cannot play the file because it is inconpatable with MCE ? ? ? ?

Is there an ending process to Winavi mp4 that FOOOOOks thing up that I should know about ? ? ?


Your help here folks would be welcome.

regards & hope You Can Help !

If you install k-lite codec pack mkv's will play in MCE and won't need recoding. That's the setup I have.
