That might be why ive never seen it Geo as i dont tend to download much HD video. AS above, google how to convert it to Mp4. I would link you but i cant access any pages as they're blocked.

It'll probably be a mission to covert it without buying one of those stupid converters. I wouldnt bother with the free trials either, as they usually just do part of the file just to show you, then make you pay. If you search hard enough, you might find a free convertor. Or just redownload it an AVI/mp4 file lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnny g Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 MKV is great. I do convert most of them to high bitrate MP4, though, for my home media/iPod/iPhone ease of use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 The PS3 has the same issue, its only the container and a simple/quick process with mkv2vob will leave you with an AVI instead. I also have to select transcode DTS as I dont have any DTS hardware and just get noise http://www.mkv2vob.com/ Job done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
