Is the problem the program, the set-top player or the user or a little or each?

    Other Is the problem the program, the set-top player or the user or a little or each?

    The issue I am having is that when I rip a DVD to MKV Passthrough, the OPPO 103D takes 2-4 minutes to recognize the file via USB. By recognize, I mean the flash drive light is constantly showing it is reading the file and when it is complete, the player displays the resolution and length of the movie. If I use the remote to play the file, it takes another few minutes for the file to load and play. I always thought the files were bad, the unit was hung up so I would reboot the OPPO.

    What really makes this annoying is that if I have an MKV Passthrough on my flash drive, I can't scroll through a list as it hangs 2-4 minutes on that file. I suppose I could put those files in individual folders but it would still take many minutes to play the movie once the folder is opened. Until I can get this to work, I am using the MKV profile with 2 pass encoding. The process takes about 7 minutes for the basic movie so it's not earth shattering.

    MKV Passthrough works great on Blu-ray. I have virtually instant recognition of the file and it loads instantly. My only issue is with MKV Passthrough on DVDs. My OPPO firmware is up to date (there is a beta firmware but no indication it would address this issue). Any ideas?

    Thanks-Jeffie

    Out of interest, are you backing-up PAL or NTSC (MPEG-2) DVD's?

        Can you run one or more of your 'problem' files through MediaInfo (set to text mode). And post what it reports, IN FULL as a text (.txt) file?

            I always make an image of my drive before I DL anything in case of problems. I think this is what you want.

            There is also a delay in responding as my posts require a moderator's approval (not sure why?).

              Use the Manage Attachments button to attach the MediaInfo text file.

                What is happening is beyond my pay grade and I am lost.

                I have 2 screen shots of alerts/error messages saying I have exceeded my quota by 68.8 KB. My total of attachments is 1.02 MB. I have no idea how to delete any of the attachments. I will copy/paste the txt file.

                I tried to paste the txt file and received the following error message:

                "You have included 9 images in your message. You are limited to using 4 images so please go back and correct the problem and then continue again.

                    Something happened as it looks like I can now post without a moderator's approval. I am also now able to attach a file.

                    Thanks-Greatly Appreciated

                      Is the USB drive formatted FAT32? Does the player support other drive formats? How about VIDEO_TS folders? How large is the MKV file?

                        Okay I've looked at your 'WolfCop' MediaInfo file report.

                        There does not appear to be anything odd within the report. The 'pull-down' field flags are still within the MPEG-2 stream (I often manually remove these using another application).

                        So, Signals question regarding 'USB drive formats' might provide a reason for what you're experiencing. As you may already know, the Oppo BDP-10x range of players support, FAT-32, NTFS and exFAT formatted HDD's (personally I use the latter).

                        I have an Oppo BDP-103 myself. However, all my media files are stored on a Synology NAS and are accessed via UPnP or SMB hard-wired network connection. I very rarely plug a USB HDD directly into the player, except for playing 'test files'.

                        Anyway, I accessed a few of my (MPEG-2) 'DVD disc.mkv' file back-ups last night and they were as quick to open as my 'BRD disc.mkv' file back-ups...

                        Cheers

                          Thank you both for your time. I am up and about.

                          All my flash drives are NTFS. The files sizes for a typical DVD source converted using an MKV Passthrough profile is approximately 3gb.

                            I reformatted a drive to exFAT and FAT32. The results were the same, which is to say, not good. Once the movie finally starts, stopping the movie means having to wait another significant amount of time before it is able to continue

                            I didn't mention that the OPPO runs through my Yamaha AV receiver but I can't see that as being an issue. Unless something positive changes, I will contact OPPO on Monday.

                            Thanks Again

                            edit: I thought I would try the Beta firmware over at AVS but it's no longer available (server not found).

                              I also restored the OPPO to original factory settings - same result.
