Hi to everyone, does anyone can explain me how to convert a .TS file to .mkv? I'm using ProjectX to demux and after I run MKVtoolnix to finish the job, but the output file is not played with WMP but only with mplayer. Of course I have ffdshow+haali Media Splitter installed and I'm sure that I can play all .mkv coming form a couple of friends of mine. Hope someone will help me. Regards, Stefano. P.S. the funny think is: if I do NOT add the audio track to MKVtoolnix, WMP is able to play it!
Hi, the audio format is mp2; the one that came form the ProjectX's de-muxing phase. But I don't think WMP doesn't like the audio because the only thing I can hear is the audio. Bye and thanks the same, Stefano.
I'm talking about standard mpeg files: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MPEG-2 I've never seen m2v/mp2 files inside an MKV before, so I tried it and was able to get it to work just fine using MKVmerge gui. Perhaps the problem is in the .ts file. Did it demultiplex properly? Beyond that, I can't think of any anything else.
Hi and thanks for your replay, may be the problems is all in mine PC. In fact if I ask GSpot to list all my codecs and filters I can find one problem (highlighted in red). It's about Mpeg2, hear it is: DSH MPEG2_VIDEO WS Mpeg2 Dec {3296804B-99B0-4147-93C7-762A8DA8027D} 0x00500010 ** File Missing: What do you think it does it means and in case how can fix that missing file?. Stefano.
This CLSID seems to be related to WS Mpeg2 Dec Filename: C:\Program Files\Aimersoft\Video Converter\WS_Mpg2Dec.ax CLSID: {3296804B-99B0-4147-93C7-762A8DA8027D} Have you installed this video coverter? Try reinstalling it and check again. If it doesn't work, you may need to get hold of an mpeg-2 decoder. Only Vista home premium and Vista ultimate have them built-in. Another solution is to install VLC. It uses it's own internal code to play the files (and many more)
Hi davexnet, you're perfectly right! I was installed that program before and it was just a leftover registry key. With the help of jv16 Power Tools I carefully removed all the entries with that value {3296804B-99B0-4147-93C7-762A8DA8027D} and now the GSpot "red" problems disappeared. But sorry if I ask you little more. Have you an idea about this my last GSpot red highlight? - - ** Problem ** ** File Missing: VFCodec.dll Thanks again for your help, Stefano.
It's probably another orphaned registry entry. According to some info I found on the internet, that DLL is part of the VFAPIconv package. It's mentioned on this page: http://www.angelfire.com/indie/barnprograms2/htm/video.html
right, in fact I have that like a part of DVD2SVCD program. I'm not sure but it appear to be ok. But which key should I remove? I'll post you the full log that GSpot gives, just in case you can have an idea: - - ** Problem ** ** File Missing: VFCodec.dll - - Type VFW - - Function Decoder DSH 4CC VIFP DSH Friendly Name VFAPI Reader Codec 1.03 DSH DirectShow CLSID CLSID_AVIDec {CF49D4E0-1115-11CE-B03A-0020AF0BA770} REG Driver File C:\WINDOWS\system32\quartz.dll REG Merit 0x00200000 VFW Name VFAPI Reader CodVFAPI Reader Codec 1.03 VFW Description VFAPI Reader Codec 1.03 Thanks for your help, Stefano.
Just leave it as it is - it's not doing any harm. Don't touch anything to do with quartz.dll because you'll risk damaging directshow stuff. Do you have xvid installed ? Try running the vidc cleaner.
hi, of course I have xvid installed. I use one of the latest Koepi's version. I launched the utility you are talking about but the problems is still there. In any case, I'll follow your advise and I'll give up with that bloody key. I agree with you it's doing nothing wrong to my system. It's too silly (and too dangerous) wast my time around it. Thanks a lot for all the help you gave to me. I really appreciate that! Stefano.
