Transcoding for LG BD570 player
Posted: Sun Jun 26, 2011 7:46 pm
I am new to transcoding and would like some help. First, some background. I have an extensive DVD collection and wanted them on a hard disk so that I could easily select the one I wanted to play. I started to use a program called MAKEMKV to rip my DVDs and tested them om my LG BD360 player and it worked fine, including subtitles, but it does not support NTFS format on its USB port, so files were limited to 4GB. It also does not support DLNA. So I upgraded(?) to an LG BD570C, and found out that my mkv files would not play at all. It played other mkv files but not mine. So I downloaded Serviio, and using the Generic profile, it also did not play my mkv files. Using the Samsung A profile it played about 80% of my mkv files. I edited the profiles.xml file like so:
and it also plays the same 80% or so of my mkv files. My mkv files all use the mpeg2 video codec, the AC3 audio codec and VobSub for 1 subtitle track. Most of them play, but about 20% do not. If i run a file that does not play through TSMUXER with M2TS muxing output, the file plays fine, both natively and via Serviio. However, I lose subtitles.
As far as I understand, TSmuxer does not change the videao and audio streams, only places them in a different container from mkv. Does the above code not do the same thing?
Since all other mkv files play fine (except for subtitles) using the generic profile, I only want to transcode the mkv files that MAKEMKV generates by ripping a dvd. I could use a different program to rip my DVDs, but they all include compression which extends the 1/2 hour that Makemkv takes to about 6 hours per dvd.
