Samsung C-Series vs MKV files. Transcoding?
Posted: Wed Mar 23, 2011 2:24 am
Hi guys.
First of all, I'm a newbie
I'm having a problem with my Samsung C550. I can't play some of my .mkv files. Some of them play right, some others give me on the TV an error message "Unsupported Video Codec" (actually it's in spanish so the translation could be different, the original message is "Codec de Video no admitido").
I've checked a file that works and another that doesn't with ffmpeg -i. Both files throw similar information:
This one works fine:
This one doesn't:
The only difference is the bitrate, 448 kb/s seems to be unsupported. I really don't know what's the meaning of that, but I've read the forum and I think I need transcoding. The profile is Samsung C-Series, the default installation values. How do I enable transcoding? or do I need to convert the files?
