#MPLAYERX MKV HANG INSTALL#
As good as Perian is, I haven't even bothered to install it on ML yet, and I don't think I need to anymore. I've had a Mac Mini in the lounge for years now and I seriously cannot remember the last time I launched QuickTime. I would like to share my setup and workflow. I can't remember the last time I launched QT. Should I leave well enough alone, or will completing the entire method at the site I linked to do anything useful?

Am I to understand that if I use that Terminal string and load a movie in VLC I'll no longer be able to hear anything? Right now I'm getting (non) surround sound and I'm a little worried I might break something. I was thinking about finally doing that when I came across this thread. I downloaded Perian for the iMac, but I've yet to use the Terminal command. Now I have to admit that I don't know why the above method worked (I don't even fully understand what I did, I just basically followed the steps), but work it did. On the MBP I'd been using the method outlined here to get 5.1 surround when watching MP4s, M4Vs, MKVs, etc.:

It's taking the place of our MacBook Pro (with Lion) which was filling the same purpose (when I wasn't taking it places, that is). I just got a 2011 iMac (with Mountain Lion) to use as an HTPC. Does anyone have insight into a permanent fix? It would seem that installing a system-level tool like Perian would be the fix, but in reading this it seems nothing has yet appeared. We haven't solved the actual problem that AC3 doesn't play back in Mountain Lion. I'll try Subler as a faster alternative.īut these are all workarounds. So far, I've been using Handbrake to create a new video file formatted for Apple TV (using Handbrake's included setting for Apple TV). I'm stuck at 1.0x, but the sound works fine. The problem is that watching with VLC, or viewing a video with Movist but using the FFMPEG playback instead of Quicktime, does not allow for adjustments to playback speed. This last one is key since I, like some others out there, prefer to watch my videos at an adjusted playback speed usually 1.3x or 1.4x. and C.) Has the best options for adjusting playback speed. I prefer to use Movist to view video files since it A.) can play back damn near everything much like VLC, B.) has a great interface and toolbars, etc. My problem specifically is one of personal preference.

I suppose it depends on how it was created. I've also had the same problem with the occasional AVI file. I've had the same problem with playing back my MKV files, which seem to all have AC3 audio encoding. I did some research after posting and realized I had been incorrectly remuxing all this time (essentially throwing away the multichannel stuff in most of the encodes I had). Just wanted to clear this up for everyone.

This is probably higher that whomever encoded the audio to anyways, so no big loss there. So what you can do there is change the DTS (AC-3) to AAC, Stereo or multi-channel, up to 160 Kbps. For instance, if it is DTS, you can pass it, but will probably have trouble with ATV. I had not noticed when adding a file manually that there are options in regards to the audio.

It is still worth it to use Subler for quickness, but I wish they would write in some code to passthru the audio :/Įdit: I was wrong about this. That is why, after comparing the mkv to the final m4v, the final m4v can be up to ~2 GB smaller (since Subler truncates the audio streams). You will see that the highest audio bitrate/channel is like 160 Kbps or something. The video is passthru'd but not the audio. Yeah, just know that the audio will be degraded when going from mkv to m4v using Subler, if you choose to.
