Beyonwiz and mkv files

Are Beyonwiz working on some newer codecs so as to allow it to play more types of files 4. Can I force the P2 to play files it doesn't recognise? Are Beyonwiz working on some newer codecs so as to allow it to play more types of files. As a general comment I would not bother trying to get the BW to show photos. It can do it but its really poor at it. Same thing for playing MP3s.

Home movies it should be able to handle although you seem unlucky that the BW doesn't recognise your cameras. If you want to play them on the BW you'll need to convert them on the PC using software - doable but pretty laborious generally.

This would make generating new code for their older chipsets a potentially dead end development. Regards, Ian. Post by DaveR » Mon Dec 29, am. Post by elysian » Mon Dec 29, pm.

As you probably already know, MKV is an open source container file format, commonly containing MPEG-4 video and capable of carrying multiple file types and high definition video content.

Equally cursed and loved, the format has many benefits but also has glitches and compatibility problems, particularly when being played on something other than a PC or Mac or when being converted to DVD. Note that on these guides I am specifically referring to MKV files containing: 1. The same file looks fine on my PC media player VLC not immediately however; you have to force aspect ratio , yet it never looks right on Media Player Classic.

I've tried fixing the offending MKV files by opening them in MKVextractGUI, manually setting the aspect ratio or resolution, and then remuxing, but the new file always displayed the same visual distortion. Some helpful posters at Videohelp. The MKV container file does flag this information but some hardware and software players ignore the flag.

If this is the case, then only a BW firmware fix would make the PVR treat the offending files any differently. In the toolkit it is mmg. Attached Thumbnails. Is that mkvtoolnix 9. Ah hah its 8. If were to add more for files would I be able to choose which font will be used? Or would it automatically use the first one it came to? You can do it in the latest version if you wish - when you load a file into the input window to the right is the attachment tab.

Suggest you experiment and try things, that's how I learn to use software and I'm 78 years old Here is the fruits of experimentation.

Or was I supposed to save it humm! It probably depends on the media player involve. OR try the MKV home page. Last edited by netmask56; 2nd Apr at VLC does support using embedded fonts but it is not sufficient to simply attach the font to the mkv file. You have to convert the subtitle to ASS format and within the ASS format explicitly specifiy the font you want to use. Aegisub can help setting the style.

If so where? Post by netmask » Wed Dec 26, am. Post by slobbythegreat » Sun Jan 06, pm. Post by Gully » Mon Jan 07, am. Post by slobbythegreat » Fri Jan 11, am. Post by netmask » Fri Jan 11, am.
