What I'm curious about is perhaps the mkv file is just fine and it's the playback that's messed up. Would seem very possible, if he's following the same steps as everyone else and the ripping is succeeding.

Yes, playback is screwed up.

The mkv's will be fine.

Mike,
...as far as the preview goes - a) it just doesn't work, no matter what I do, following directions or not. And b) even if it worked, it defeats the purpose, because if I'm going to watch a movie I haven't seen, the last thing I want to do is preview it and look for text and listen for audio to confirm everything is right! Kinda ruins the whole thing... Confused


preview always works fine for me Smile

i've noticed that if you just look at the opening credits in the preview, you can "usually" tell form that if it is in english or not, no need to watch the entire movie

that being said, it would be nice if there was some database somewhere that you could look up which version on the disc is in which language...

Well, obviously the information is in the disc -somewhere-, or commercial players wouldn't be able to tell, either! So where the hell is it... is it heavily encrypted, or something? OK, I know that deciphering the whole menu structure is difficult, but it seems like someone ought to be able to find where they store the information about language / subs for each set of streams, given that we can find the seamless branching sets themselves...

OK, and here's an .mpls I just opened in notepad:



The information is there. And stuff like AnotherEAC3to GUI is looking at it. So why not figure out what's what for the languages / subs from there? It might not be -easy-, but it looks more than possible, and god knows it'd be worth it!
