Any experience with MKV files?

Bennyhill · #1 (**permalink**) 03-26-2008, 10:29 PM

I have several video files that are packaged with the MKV extension, does anyone have any experience with this?

Is it possible to make BTV use these? I have wmp working with them but BTV doesn't know how to handle them.

I know there are others wanting to use these files, How come no responses to these questions?

If you are looking for a snapstream response I think you have to put in an official ticket/request. A forum response is not guaranteed.

FYI

Rename the .mkv files to .avi and see what happens. This works fine in Beyond Media, so it might work in BTV.

If anyones still wondering, I've found you can use XviD4PSP to "strip" the mkv file to a avi file.

Just set format to avi set Video and Audio encoding to COPY and it makes an avi in about 3 mins

that is playable with all features in BeyondTV except you cannot resume where you stopped for some reason.
