This only happens with blu-ray discs.Īt this point, I didn’t know whether the problem lay with MakeMKV, MKVMerge, the WDTV, user error, or some combination thereof. Interestingly, DVD discs don’t present a problem. 24000/1001) doesn’t make a difference either. Specifying a frame rate in MKVmerge (e.g. Playing over the network or off a USB drive makes no difference. This consistently happened using different b u-ray discs and using both the production 1.03.29B and beta 1.03.39B Live+ firmware versions. But when the split scene clips were played on my WDTV Live+, the audio was not sync’d to the video at the beginning of the clip. And the full-length rips played fine on my WDTV Live+ as well. The resultant full-length rips *and* scene clips played fine on a Windows 7 PC (I used MPC Home Cinema 圆4).

Aside from specifying the split timecodes, the only other MKVmerge option changed was disabling of header compression for the video & audio tracks (for the by-now obvious reasons). The latest versions of both programs as of this weekend were used.

I used the timecode method to do this (enter a HH:MM:SS timecode for each split position in time). The excerpts were then created by splitting with MKVmerge. I created the clips by first ripping a movie with MakeMKV. He’ll be taking along a WDTV Live+ to do this (its easier to transport a WDTV than a disc player across the country!). A friend of mine is a Sony Partner and wants to use the clips to demo his product in the Sony booth at this week’s CEDIA Expo. I’ve been trying to create video clips of scenes excerpted from full-length MKV rips for playback on a WDTV Live+. Apologies for the provocative title, but you know how it gets after debugging a problem for a few days …
