Thanks Mike but I know nothing about MKV or Containers. I’ll need to do more research.
I “assume” that (ugh - I assumed):
-
MKV is a file extension(format) which the WD Live Plus can play ?
-
you’re suggesting I rip to MKV rather than AVI ?
But, I infer that I cannot rip directly to MKV, but must first do something else, and only then put it into a different container ?
Sounds like too much effort for me. Ideally I’d like to rip and watch - nothing more.
I am familiar with ISO and have used them to burn DVD’s, but they are too big for my needs.
And, I use the UpNP access for my media, not network shares, and ISO does not work for UpNP w/ WD in my experience.
A 1.5 GIG AVI with Dolby 5.1 was my current average target.
Regardless thanks and I will investigate.
