Hello I'm new at this forum can someone help me ? my problem is: Last week we bought a LG home theater systemen sound bar-Model:HLB54S. it has a usb port. I downloaded a mkv file and converted it with ConvertXtoDvd + subtitles. so it's playable I putted the video_TS file in a usb and put it in the lg usb input when I start the movie it wont show up subtitles and when I press on the subtitle button it will say "subtitles off" can some one help me please? I know my English is terrible =X
Did you try to press the subtitles button one more time to show "on"? If you play the Dvd that you just made in your computer, can you turn the subtitles on? If you still have the folder that Convertx2DVD made, just play the VIDEO_TS.IFO file from the Video_TS folder(you can use VLC )
thanks for the fast replay! Yes, when I play the file on my computer I can see subtitles. and that button I pressed like 46324 times but won't work =/
on my pc the subtitles will come automatically and if I made a menu I can select what I want, but if I do that on that usb thing the menu is freezing that has to do with it?
Were you ever able to play a DVD off the the USB, with menus/subtitles? I am sure it works if you use an actual discs, but might not work from the USB. Anyhow, your player specs say it will play MKV and Divx. Just copy the MKV file to your USB and should probably work.
I tried and it doesn't work that stupid thing -.- I did the movie in a folder and when I open the folder there is nothing in it... And nop the menu has always been frozen,subtitles never worked cuz I don't know how. But I know if I burn it on a dvd disc it wil work I'm sad right now N_N we bought this special for the movies and now it can't play any sbubtles
The MKV will not work? It says it should, it's supported. If you want to play off USB, try and convert the MKV to an AVI(Divx) instead of DVD.
I tried that option too but it took me like 3-4 hours O_O? and after it was finished I can't find the conveted file lol so I deleted the programme (idk which one I used) ):
Ah, it would be so much easier than convert to DVD.4 hours??? What computer do you have? It definitely should not take more than converting to DVD. However, I would still look into figuring out why MKV don't play. Get the manual out, maybe find some specifications, or if you feel brave, call tech support. Try this to convert to Divx: http://www.any-video-converter.com/download-avc-free.php Choose AVI for container, choose Xvid for codec. Since it can play HD Divx, you can choose a higer frame size, like 1080x720, or even maxim HD, and bitrate, 1024 or so.It can hardcode the subs, so you don't have to worry about them. Here's a forum where you might be able to ask and see why you cannot play MKV(I am curious as to why it doesn't work). http://www.xtremeplace.com/yabbse/index.php?topic=69987.0
I just glimpsed at some news, and it might be possible that your player supports MKV, however, needs to be encoded using Divx. Most MKVs available on the net are encoded using H.264, that's why your player might not be able to see it. It makes sense, since H.264 capability is not mentioned. So instead of AVI, just choose MKV. http://www.afterdawn.com/news/archive/21172.cfm
No, just forget that, my bad. I missed some important detail, the "Plus HD", that your player does not support. Just make an AVI using xvid like I mentioned.
Owh no problem =P Can you explain the hardcode sub thing to me please? and will the qwality b te same? -edit I don't see the avi container and framesize O_O
After you open the video, scroll down, below the video frame/bitrate...settings and choose the subtitle. The subtitle will become part of the video, you will not be able to turn them on/off. If you want to be able to switch them on/off, then don't select them, is another process. The quality is always degraded to some level every time you do a conversion, even when converting to DVD.
A quad core should do it in no time.It takes 30 min or less on a core2 for me. Just make sure you set the proper number of cores(set to "4" the "Number of threads used for encoding":
