Cannot convert to any file??

[robandcat]

Xbox format, usless to me . I made some progress though, I was able to play a mp4 on my wd live box, but resolution was bad and only pro logic... still hopeing for a mkv solution

[robandcat]

All firmware on both devices are up to date, just checked but also cannot play the movies on my computer, correction I can but without sound, I just tried a mp4, it worked...played on my computer but at a lower resoulation and only in pro logic.... as for the mkv movies they will play in vlc player, but that wont help my other devices now... I actually had no problems playing the 200 othere dvd's thus far, just seems to be a issue with blue ray, after trying so many different setings and keep upgrading, I'm loseing hope that there is a one click solution to my problem. I suppose that burning them to a disc they would work, but Im all digital, and all my dvd's are in attic now. I stream everything from my srver across the house. I hope there will be a sure fire solution soon, my trial will expire and I will have lost faith in purchasing the software. I have no problem paying for it , if it worked for me. The members have been so kind and helpful, the developers seem to be constantly upgrading the software, which is also great. But I really did nto want to spend this much time on a program to try to make it work, I also understand I'm using beta so I'm not complaining so much. Hopefully the developers might look at my situation and try to work off my specs to possibly solve my problem and that of others. I guess I could ask the mod's to keep a ear open to anyone that has sucessfully done what I'm trying to do, or possibly contact the developers on my behalf. I was Admin to a andriod gameing site so I know how difficult it may be to reach developers or always have the correct answers. I really like the GUI of dvdfab and againg hopefully a solutin will present its self quickly.
Thank You
Rob
Edit Im trying one last attempt, buy ripping it to a xbox format, seems anything that plays on my computer will play on my network, so a microsoft attempt would be the answere hopefully. Im not sure about the compression and such but Ill try...

The wd live box and PS3 are problematic for playing back video files. If the file created by DVDFab plays on computer then it a problem with the other 2 you use to play media. Check and make sure the firmware is up to date on the PS3 and the wd live box. Here is link for the latest firmaware update for the wd live box as for PS3 you will have to find that one yourself

[robandcat]

These are the specs for th wd live box, maybe this can shead some light as to why im having problems, maybe settings? I do not fully understand all the file formats since im used to vob's but here it is:

Audio
MP3, WAV/PCM/LPCM, WMA, AAC, FLAC, MKA, AIF/AIFF, OGG, Dolby Digital, DTS

My goal is one large file in 1080p and 5.1 playable on this box and pc (windows media player) without compression. With regular dvd i use another program, done. I have on large file that plays on all my media.

So last night I tried the hancock rip with 8.0.5.0 to .mkv still will not show up in my wd live player and will not play audio on my computer using windows media player. I think I'm running out of ideas. Does anyone have any sucess with ripping the main movie to a universal format playable on computer,ps3 and wdlive plus box. They all support .mkv, m2t etc. Going to try to rip it to mp4 wish me luck

Hi, robandcat,

The latest version of DVDFab8.0.5.0 at is released.

You may give that a shot.

Sincerely yours

I did try playing it with VLC and it started out rebuilding some cache but then success, it played with sound. Bottom line is that I need dvdfab to encode it so it plays on windows or divix etc. Im going to see if my ps3 and wd live plus box will decode it properly first, currently transfering movie to my server ughhh soooo slowww

under a/v codec it says core avc cannot be detected, Is this my problem? if so how do I know if my ps3 or wdlive have these codecs to play the file?

No this is not the problem, I do not have core avc, but other users have it and I think it helps speed up the process of converting and encoding, you can find it here http://corecodec.com/products/coreavc, maybe someone else will chime in and give you a better explanation of the use of it.

I am thinking that you have a code issue, have you tried those players that I had suggested??

CBR thankyou for your help, sorry to be acting like a noob, but not used to troubleshooting and giving all info up front. I just started using dvdfab a few days ago and am learning, the heads up on check mark helped a lot, looking at it , a/v was set to cuda, so ill try another pass at it, with new settings,
Again thanks to you and service team

ok I used dvdfab to rip hancock directly to a mkv and worked fine for video but no sound.

Did you use the file you have on your desktop or did you convert from the disc in your drive???Also what are your A/V Codec set to in Fab???

Open Fab click the Click the Green √ at top right corner of the DVDFab screen, and open Common Settings > General >A/V Codec, set Video Decoder to Software and set Video Encoder to Software restart Fab and try again.

What video player that you were using to play the converted files???

May I suggest MPC http://mpc-hc.sourceforge.net/ or VLC

You are trying to convert files ripped from Fab and convert them with the Video Converter option???
If so you should be using the BluRay Ripper option.
