In the case of my sound card, one device is the stereo output device, and the other one is IEC985 one. The first number is the card number and second one is the device number. (5) I've seen alot of HD content using VC-1. Under Settings -> Audio menu, for default device, choose custom and enter: hw:0,0. (4) Most these bluray rips are using DTS or AC3, these dont seem to be options in MediaCoder, other then 'copying' the stream, what is a good alternative for converting a 6ch 1536k dts stream? Vorbis, lame mp3, etc? You can execute this free PC program on Windows XP. Now, come back to External Audio Decoder tab again and click each Audio Codec section in Combo Box as the picture below. Commonly, this programs installer has the following filenames: CodecSettings.exe and vlc.exe etc. 4) Open KMPlayer folder where KMPlayer has been installed on your computer and select LAVAudio.ax and click Open.
The most popular version among the software users is 2.0. This free program was originally produced by VLC Codec Pack. (3) Why are most bluray rips using MKV? Is it because it can handle multiple streams/subs? Can't the other containers do this too? VLC Codec Pack 2.0.5 is available as a free download on our software library. The source file is valid and succeeds to transcode with other formats.
(2) If I were to re-transcode these files into something that is a bit easier on my system, what would be a good alternative? Note that when I try to use MediaCoder to retranscode them with the same h264/mkv settings but a lower bit rate (5000k) it fails everytime, I'm not sure why.
(1) I assume it's normal for me to not be able to play these files without studdering? What are my limits? If it was 5000k could I expect to play 1080p h264 properly? 10000k? 15000k? I understand 1080p h264 files like this are very very cpu intensive if you dont have a newer video card (Geforce 8800+ or something like that). My system is a few years old, it's an dual core with dual Geforce 7800GTX's and 2gigs ram. When playing audio files, thumbnail display of enhancements (MP3, FLAC, WMA) ColorSpace error correction Intel H.264 codec error correction reproduction. This all started with me tring to play back 1080p h264 mkv bluray rips, 10 gig files at about 11,000k bitrate. It is a tricky subject and I don't seem to be making much progress on google/wikipedia after many hours reading. I'm trying to learn more about transcoding codecs, containers.
