Hi all

just used a program called makemkv to rip my dvds without compressing them, ps3 media server and when i come to play them i can see the picture but the sound is all corrupt and there in ac3 format in the mkv file.

i have other mkvs that work but why are my dvd rips to kv not working i can not get the sound to work it sounds all spectrum type sounds from teh old days.

the audio is not dts its just ac3 but i dont know whats going on ? i can not understand it ?

just tried it

1, mkv (mpeg+ac3) to m2ts worked
2, mkv (mpeg+ac3) compressed with handbrake mkv (AVC+ac3) did not work
3, mkv (mpeg+ac3) compressed with handbrake mkv (AVC+ac3) then mkvtovob did work

i have never had this problem before with other mkvs before not dvd to mkv versions anyway.

i just dont know why this is happening why the sound is all messed up the video plays on them all its just the sound that does not but when i mess with the video it fixes it in some ways.

there must be people on here who use makemkv to use with the ps3

some more info

i am using a

intel i5 2.7ghz with 4gig ddr3 ram and a ATI 5770 GFX card with windows 7 64bit

if i get some tv mkvs shows they all work i have treid a couple of others the same wya i rip the dvds and they work this is all very strange

That Work with no problems

MKV

just bloody figured out whats happend can not beleave it after hours of trying to figure it out why this was happening.

I rip a dvd to mkv using makemkv then i will use mkvtoolnix 4.1.1 to disable the subs so that they dont auto play well on the pc side anyway as i hate to keep turning them off then i remux the file all works fine on the pc but when i play it on the ps3 the sound just plays like a old spectrum loader game in the old days.

now if i do the same rip the dvd to kv with makemkv but do not use mkvtoolnix 4.1.1 it works so it looks like mkvtoolnix is damaging the file in some way.

I have not tried to remux the file without changing anything so i am going to do this first to see if it stil damages the file if it does not it must be when i change the subs from default to no but i will have to try this out.

its just a shame makemkv does not give you an option to stop the subs comming on stright away

at least i now know mkvtoolnix sems to be the problem i am going to try verion 4.0.0 to to see what happens

but the mkv file that i made with makemkv is now working as long as i dont use mkvtoolnix to disable the subs but i will do more testing

This is a not a bug in mkvtoolnix but in the playback software. Please read http://www.bunkus.org/videotools/mkvtoolnix/faq.html#header_removal_compression for an explanation.
