Solved - MKV files & data unsupported / corrupted messages

[Fixet]

Some people are having problems especially with Crossbow's release of Inception. I also did. But, instead of updating the component's of PS3 Media Server (which is of course a good idea), I used Xvid4PSP to fix the problem. With Inception, if I tried to play it with PS3MS, the computer would just hang to think something and TV screen was all black. I waited about 20 seconds and exit. Anyway, What I did, is that I took a copy of the video and audio streams of the movie and created a new MKV file with those streams. After that, the movie worked just fine and I can still use the stylized subtitles like before. Though I haven't followed if the subtitles problem has been fixed with the new mencoder version. Last time I tried it, I couldn't use the stylized subtitles, only the white ones if you know what I mean.

Thanks so much for these instructions!!! I was having an issue with AVISYNTH/MENCODER stuttering while playing 3D SBS MKV with DTS audio stream. I would get corrupt data error. Now the error has gone away. I only get some stuttering and am trying to isolate that to either my LAN connection 100mb now (will be upgrading to GIgibit) or a server CPU limitation (Athlon Single Core in HP Media Smart Server).

Thanks!!!

Dude, thank you very much for this. I have had two particularly stubborn mkv files, and I can now watch both of them perfectly. Thanks!

I am buying my first PS3, and have been wifi streaming mkv files using Samsung 3600 perfectly, but this died....

Really do not want a hard cabled ethernet, but what are your impressions?
thanks

Thanks for the guide!

I unchecked ass/ssa subtitles and disabled tsmuxer so mencoder does all the transcoding and I can now watch my mkv and avi with external subs on the xbox

Anyone here know if and when MEncoder will support .ass subtitles again?

Is it being worked on?

Have you tried the SubJunk builds...or the Community builds?

I use SubJunk builds and I believe it has been fixed, along with many other issues.

Check them out here....

The Community build (as well as SubJunk) can be found in the Beta builds forum

If you read the Subjunk forum thread you should have a good idea of what is going on with those builds. Last build I had was nearly perfect, but haven't run my newest install (SB-10) a whole bunch.

You should definitely check them out though.

Yeah, devildog is right. The SubJunk build fixes MKV issues

what is it "MKVMerge 3.4.0" how do i use it ?

i have the same problem with RED, the movie refused to play but when i tried "datdamnmachine" solution
"Thank you sir. It turns out, it is the K-Lite Codec Pack that was the issue. I didn't have it installed. I had the CCCP codec pack installed. I ripped out the CCCP, Haali, Ffdshow as part of the K-Lite install process and installed K-Lite Mega 32-bit and the 64-bit version as well. Everything is now showing up as it should with ASS/SSA subtitles when using Avisynth/MEncoder. Now I can enjoy my anime. Thanks again for the help."

disabled txmuxer and the movie finally worked but not smooth and when i added .sub file the movie again didnt play again, unmarked ass subs and still with subtitles it didnt work at all.
