Its only at the beggining of the movie. Like 5-10 min into it! after that its all good! I have a 50 inch Plasma 1080i

Specific to one movie or is it happening with all/a lot of your stuff?

MASSIVE update to MKV2VOB,

V2.0.1 beta 22/Feb/2008

Added boost AAC/DTS volume option.

Fixed overflow crash.

Fixed file splitting cut off after 2gb.

V2.0.0 beta 22/Feb/2008

Im making this a beta because its untested with windows xp (i only have vista)

Completely new GUI with tons of features so I probably forgot to list them all.

Allows set temp directory.

Set preferred audio language.

File splitting (FAT32, DVD-R etc...)

Select a rar file and it automatically unrar and convert the mkv.

Queue multiple files for batch processing.

Queue entire directory for batch processing.

Support files with AAC audio (converts to AC3).

Checks if enough free disk space before each step.

Faster mpeg2 transcoding.

Automatically checks for and downloads updates each time its started.

Fixed bug with mpeg2 stuttering in the beginning and then out of sync.

Fixed bug with files encoded with latest x264.exe might be unnecessarily transcoded.

KNOWN BUG: tsmuxer crashes after muxing mpeg2 video, i have worked around this for vista by autoclose the crash window, for xp you probably have to click end task manually.

KNOWN BUG: split files might have a few seconds of video corruption in the beginning, i dont know how to find the keyframes sorry, i worked around this by duplicating the first few seconds at the end of the previous file.

POSSIBLE BUG: The filesize used for splitting is done using file sizes from specifications on wikipedia, i have not tested if it actually fits on fat32,dvd-r etc..

WARNING: Be careful with the "delete file/folder" after convert option, it might not detect all possible failures/crashes of the conversion tools.

Going to be testing it out just now, and if everything works well, I'll be overhauling my guide again to relfect the new version.

ps. (Much requested change "temp" folder option in new build, file splitting and AAC support!!) :)

It is a beta and you can expect some more versions to roll out over the next few days no doubt - Tsmuxer, one of the programs MKV2VOB uses has gone through quite a big update, so one of the updates to MKV2VOB will be to include that.

Also for the subtitle prayers,

mkv2vob does not use ffdshow it uses mencoder for mpeg2.

edit: mencoder has hardcode subtitles option, ill check this out sunday/monday when i have some free time.

i will add the hardcoded subtitles option sunday/monday but it will only be for transcoded video.

This program right now literally makes the PS3 10x more lucrative ;)

Quick update to my guide before I go to bed.

It's just a rough one, to help out anyone new who downloads MKV2VOB and has never used it before.

I'll do a biiig update tomorrow, remove stuff not needed anymore, finish off explaining the new MKV2VOB and finally get the PSP remote play section done.

For now, best of luck getting everything to work ;)

GOTSent has been dropped out of my guide completely, Sentry23 made a great app, but MKV2VOB just does it better now. (Y) to him for all his work, but it now makes things easier for everyone that one program can do it all.

I tried the new beta but have notice it takes alot longer to do the work!

I think the way it does things changed for better compatibility.

However good news is, as I said above a new version of tsmuxer is out. One of the new features of it, is it can change things to profile 4.1 on the fly, something ANOTHER program in MKV2VOB has do to just now. That other program takes longer.

3r1c is testing it out, and if it works ok, it means you'll only need 1x the space of your MKV, and the whole process will be a loooot faster than it is just now.

He said expect an update today/tomorrow on this.

That move temp folder doesnt work for me :s

I have 60gig free on my temp drive, and output drive

but it still says insufficient space :(

Is it a DTS file?

Some others have complained about that bug happening when using an MKV with DTS. Some guy says he has 50GB free and it still says insufficient space.

I'd expect another update today, mainly to update to new tsmuxer but I think 3r1c will fix some of these bugs as well.

Even after having 50GB free HDD, it will continue to say Insufficient Disk Space... , I previously stated it was 8GB but the file is only 6.56GB.
I will do some actual testing but i just looked over the free disk space code and it looks ok.

Can you tell me how far does it go before it gets to the error.

only thing i can think of is it uses the movie time length and maybe this file is reporting a very long time in error.

Yep its with DTS sound..

If you're wanting to watch the movie just now, best thing you can try is converting the DTS audio to AC3 yourself and rebuilding the MKV, and then running the new MKV with AC3 audio through MKV2VOB.

I can help you do that, little bit time consuming (not hours, but more work(.

If not, I'd just wait till later today when we'll no doubt see an MKV2VOB update to fix the space requirement issue and include the new build of tsmuxer.

Yeah I think Ill just wait - trying with non-dts clips/movies now..

It should work, I done a 5.1 AC3/MKV earlier with my temp folder changed to another drive and it went fine.

Lost in HD courtesy of my Playstation 3 :woot:

Thanks for the guide (Y)

Yeah I get Lost in HD every week :D

Pop it on a memory stick and im good to go.

Direct mkv remuxing (300% faster) and subtitles already done and working :)

Expect an update soon!

Direct MKV remuxing is awesome, files will be done in no time now!

Subtitle support is also great, but as said earlier it will only work if you transcode - The only downers there, are a small loss in quality and a file 1.5 - 2x the size, but how many movies will you NEED subtitles in? - Very few, but having the option is (Y)

you guys using the beta right? For me for some reason it takes longer =( anyone else?

I really couldn't tell if you if it took any longer :/

It might have, but I have quite a decent rig for calculations/processing/file movement (eg CPU and RAM are good) - It's just my graphics card that's a little dated :laugh:

So the process only ever took me 10-15mins I'd say anyway.

Not to worry, if you see what I wrote above, direct MKV remuxing is coming, which means for everyone, things will be really fast (Y)

V2.0.2 beta 24/Feb/2008

Added subtitles support.

Removed need for h264info.

Updated tsmuxer.

Remux now 300-400% faster.

Updated disk space check to ignore 0 result, and provide a more detailed error.

Tweaked loader.exe so it does not set off nod32.

Note about subtitles:

Subtitles are added if the following 2 conditions are met.

1. A subtitle found in the mkv matches the language selected in config tab.

2. The subtitle language is different from the audio language in the mkv.

Enabling subtitles causes the video to always transcode regardless of transcode setting.

The guys a machine!

Enjoy guys :D

Does anyone want to test subs?

ps. Looks like the DTS space issues are fixed as well!

    • I have never been a huge fan of libre, it feels really good but exactly when you need an advance feature for data wrangling it falls short every time or has bugs. I am all for euro office if they can deliver a good and usable alternative to MS office with backing of govt function.
    • Go on, I'll bite. How does windows (nice comment on an 'article' which doesn't actually involve it ) lock users out of their data then? Been using it since 3.1 back in 92 and not once have I been locked out of my data? Perhaps you mean Bitlocker? In which case the average user (who doesn't mess about) will have been forced to use a MSA, and in which case the recovery key would have been saved to said account..... If the user did happen to bodge around and not use an MSA then Bitlocker wouldn't have become live (as it cannot without a safe place to store the key) I want to point out Bitlocker and MSA are not connected and you can of course force it on without a safe place to store the key, but you do that with your eyes open. So your standard consumer who knows no better sets up an MSA, gets bitlocker and a recovery key stored off box, with a route to reset their password. All of this notwithstanding the fact, if your data is important, you back it up, no ifs, no buts, no-ones responsibility other than your own. Important data lives in at least two locations, one of which is offline and recovery is tested, otherwise that data wasn't really that important. Disks, fail, laptops get lost, phones end up down the toilet, tablets get stolen, if your only copy of data is on a single device you're doing it wrong.
    • Clearly that feature isn't for us. It's for the ad spam marketers so they can more directly target us about going to places we might want to go again...but without understanding context clues. Like for the flight someone took for a friend's funeral. We want to be reminded of that every time we open an app, a browser, or email, right? Right, Siri?
    • Is your Apple Watch supported? Check the watchOS 27 compatibility list by Aditya Tiwari Apple kicked off WWDC 2026 with a ton of announcements, mostly centered around Apple Intelligence improvements, the Siri AI, and Liquid Glass updates. However, there is a lot of other stuff that couldn't catch the limelight. Let's talk about watchOS 27 and which models are supported by the newest operating system. According to the Cupertino giant, watchOS 27 will be supported on the following Apple Watch models when it arrives later this year: Apple Watch Ultra 3 Apple Watch Series 11 Apple Watch SE 3 Apple Watch Series 10 Apple Watch Ultra 2 It's a stark contrast with last year's watchOS 26 update, which had almost a dozen Apple Watch models in its list of supported devices. Apple supported models all the way back to Apple Watch Series 6. That said, if you own one of the five models, you'll need an iPhone 11 (or later) with iOS 27 to install the latest update. Yes, Apple has shown some extra love to the iPhone 11, and it old horse supports the iOS 27 update. watchOS 27 beta 1 is now available for developers and interested power users through the Apple Developer Program. So, if you're among those who like to play with fire, you can download it to your supported Apple Watch. Otherwise, the public beta for watchOS 27 will be available next month. The freshly baked Apple Watch update comes with Siri AI - an advanced, fully conversational version of Siri powered by Apple Intelligence due for later this year. A new dynamic app grid features icons for five Siri-suggested apps. You can use a new tap gesture to open a widget in the Smart Stack, and a new Find My app finally clears the mess of Find Devices, Find Items, and Find People on Apple Watch. Workout Buddy can run without an iPhone nearby and offers new insights based on data, including your progress for pace, distance, and workout duration. Apple improved its motion tracking algorithms to measure the distance of indoor treadmill runs and walks more precisely. Speaking of other changes, the music playback on watchOS 27 starts faster and you can create custom passes for any membership or card that uses a QR code or barcode, then easily access them in the Wallet app or pin in the Smart Stack.
    • "and pull old flight details from your email during back-and-forth conversations" The Siri I've become to know and trust. I've always wanted to pull info on old flights. /s
