MKV 1080p Stop Reading After 5min...

[Daff-er]

Hi,

I'm French, and my brother have recently bought a WD Elements Play to watch BluRay/DVD's on my HD Screen. We have a BluRay ("The Little Fockers (3)"), and I wanted to encode it for the WD Device, so, with HandBrake I encode it in MKV 1080p with a size of 5Go. I put it on the WD, I pushed PLAY button, and after 5 minutes, the movie stop and the next one start...

Here is some information about the video :

Try running the MKV file through MKVMerge. There's been a lot of discussion about HB 0.9.6 maybe having a bug.

[Daff-er]

I made a new MKV file using MKVMerge. I put it in the WD, I push "Play" Button, and then, I heard sound, but no video at all... Please help me.

I notice only one difference between the two file in Media Info :

 The only difference I notice is : Header stripping.

EDIT :

After a search on Google, I saw that Header Stripping was not supported by EP, so I'll try to put it out and I tell you the result.

[Daff-er]

Here I am !

I delete the Header Strip and it found perfectly !

Thank you very much !!
