I am having the same issues as Marc, with the aspec ratio. Everything looks streached a bit too much: " I edited your DTS>AC3 profile removing the following from the “ArguementsContext” field in the eac3to step: –display-dimensions 1:12×5 I’ve successfully converted two mkv files with DTS audio to AC3 audio with no change to the video dimensions" Can you inform me what the new command line should look like, as I have tried to modify it, but without much success. I am not really familar with mkmerge. Many thanks. Hi. I am having the same issues as Marc, with the aspec ratio. Everything looks streached a bit too much:

” I edited your DTS>AC3 profile removing the following from the “ArguementsContext” field in the eac3to step:

Can you inform me what the new command line should look like, as I have tried to modify it, but without much success. I am not really familar with mkmerge.

Many thanks.

So many people think MKV DTS to AC3 is a nightmare. No, it’s not so terrible any more. Convert MKV DTS to AC3, convert DTS to AC3 in mkv, convert MKV with DTS sound to AC3 with 5.1 channels is so easy if you owns such a powerful MKV DTS to AC3 Converter, Aunsoft MKV Converter is the recommended program which allows to you convert any types of MKV files like MKV DTS, MKV FLAC to AC3, AAC with 5.1 channels, and still keep its good quality. http://www.aunsoft.com/mkv_dts_to_ac3_converter_convert_mkv_with_dts_sound_to_ac3_with_51_channels/ If you want to set output audio channel option to 5.1, you should choose AC3 or AAC as audio encoder.

Yeah playing back mkv on extenders isn't perfect. I never tried it so I’m not sure, installing Haali is probably worth a try.

White Sun, 31 Jan 2010 02:55:40 +0000 http://bjdraw.com/?p=313#comment-2176 Thanks for the reply Ben. I tried that, but the resulting .wtv does not play. Do I need the Haali Splitter installed for this? Right now I have the Divx splitter as I was experimenting streaming the h.264 mkv's right to the 360. I'd also like to ask you a question on that topic - as it seems you and Andy are the gurus on it. The mkv played nicely on the extender, but when I used "skip" ahead or back, the video would freeze for 5-10 seconds while the audio caught up. Someone suggesting remuxing the mkv into .m2ts - that actually took care of my skip problem - but now I'm not sure if its playing natively on the 360 or being transcoded. Is there a way I could tell?

White Sat, 30 Jan 2010 15:17:44 +0000 http://bjdraw.com/?p=313#comment-2174 Ben, thanks for the great write-up. Any experience converting the video into h264 w/ the ac3 audio in a .wtv container? I know DVD's are mpeg2 natively so it makes sense just doing the container swap to .dvr-ms. But I'm thinking of possible space saving and future high-def stuff. Thanks...
