[SOLVED] Sony MKV MPEG2 support

New Sony 2013 supports MKV, but not MPEG2 inside an MKV container (e.g. MAKEMKV DVD output). Is there any way of changing the Sony 2013 profile available here to transcode the MKV container but preserve the content as MPEG2 to avoid data loss?

Could you try this :

Seems to do the trick - thanks! Have tested it on 6 MKV MPEG2 files and they all play back okay.

Just discovered to my disappointment 2012 models have the same fault. Won't play MKV encapsulated MPEG-2 video. Which is a shame, as this is the best way to copy your own DVDs to player without re-encoding and keeping chapter/subtitle support. Grr Sony.

  Code:
         
                        <!-- Remux MPEG-2 in MKV container to TS -->
              <Video targetContainer="mpegts">
                  <Matches container="matroska" vCodec="mpeg2video" />
              </Video>


Added that to BDP 2012 profile, works fine. Lose chapters and subtitles though, shame. There's no need to restrict it to audio with AC3 (as same problem with MPEG audio, and same fix works).

Container mpeg seems to work better than mpegts for some reason for these videos.

It would randomly pause at the beginning of playback using mpegts - I had to stop the file, and start again - it would then play all the way though. No idea why.

Does not do this with mpeg. Also does not do this with mpegts and h264. Seems to be an odd combination of the two and the Wifi streaming, so could be unique to my set up. Don't think it occurred on my Ethernet wired player. Bitrates are not particularly high either.

Also when it changed between episodes on mpegts, it would take longer even when it didn't freeze. With mpeg it changes quickly. Since this is an older codec with no requirement for TS I think PS is fine.
