>have to convert every video I download Thanks .mkv for fucking

/a/ here, works on my machine

>doesn't work on my tv
>doesn't play on any site

yeah it sucks, but you dont need to 'convert' them. just extract the mp4 out of them

>>56349270
great format

sounds like user errors, boy

>>56349270

Download any halfway decent media player, you fucking pleb.

> hurr what is vlc or mpv

>>56349270
If you weren't already using .mkv since 2005 or didn't know how to extract the files from it you don't belong here. It's just a fucking container.

This "Video codec" thing might be succesful in the year 2002

Even Windows 10 can play that.

How pleb are you?

>>56349270
I used to watch shit YIFY rips through the USB in my Sony Blu-ray player because they were consistently mp4, I considered Roku and other nonsense until I realized I can watch movies over HDMI on my laptop and it is the exact same thing.

>>56349480
I use Windows 7

>>56349483
>I realized I can watch movies over HDMI on my laptop

You are a bigger pleb than the OP. Are you from the year 2001?

>>56349296

> mkv is a container
> mp4 is a container

You're switching containers, aka, converting the file type. Also, some data streams in mkv are not allowed in MP4, so there are instances where you're transcoding audio, etc.

>>56349483
>I realized I can watch movies over HDMI on my laptop

How embarrassing. My grandmother does this.

>>56349487
I also use Windows 7 and I can watch .mkv files. I also have thumbnails for them.

just download MPC-HC

>>56349497
Is this because watching movies through my laptop is stupid or because I took way too long to figure it out? Because watching it full screen on the laptop looks the same as through the USB in my Blu-ray player.

>>56349270
Best video container. Don't know what is your problem.

>>56350911
zero streaming support which is why I repack/connvert everything to mp4.
mp4 would've been perfect if it supported a non retarded subtitle format.

>>56349270
works on my pi box, android tablet. even sony bluray player plays them. Not sure what your issue is.

>>56350933
Then your streaming solution is bullshit, delete it and then apply a hammer to your right hand for installing it.

>>56349270
>using apple shit

hahhahaahaha

>>56349270
Are you retarded or are you retarded?

>>56349429
Dude even Windows 10's default video player handles MKVs now. So does the Xbone. You don't even need third party video players these days. Even nor ie machines can handle the MKV format.

OP is a king among faggots.

>>56352867
no

>>56349270
mvk is breddy gud.
way better than any other format imo.

>>56349270

What are you talking about?
I "stream" from my server all the animu that I have downloaded.
Unless you mean in browser streaming, then it's the browsers player fault.
Use Mozplugger.

>>56349270
/bait

>>56353843
I meant as a pro anon.

>>56349464
It's not superb, it's decent yeah, what did you think?

>>56353886

I understand, just seeing hard subs in this day and age rustle me, I fully agree with all those pros.

>My shitty devices don't support an open format.

Stop buying shit anon.

>>56353782
So yes you are retarded, because that wasn't an answer to the question. You'd have realized that if you weren't retarded.

>>56349270
Ummm.... my 2011 TV can stream .mkv files through DLNA. Don't know what more can you ask for. It's still retarded since it cannot read internal subtitles and I have to demux them and convert to .srt but other than that it works fine.

every time i see one of these stupid posts i know they've been made during american time

why are americans such applefags

>>56349270
>boo hoo windows media player from windows 95 can't play MKVs so the format is shit
If MKV really was shit then nobody would use it.

Plex literally transcodes everything and every TV, android device and android TV supports MKV.
Manually converting video for personal consumption isn't a thing in 2016.

>>56354511
Anon, it's obvious he's complaining because of his crippled iPhone.

>>56349270
Great format. Works on all my devices, TV and media clients since 2005. Also, MKV isn't a codec. It's a container.

>>56350933
>streaming
Are you even from /g/? Whatever. Also, streaming works for me if I try it.

>>56354579
he probably tries to stream to an outdated blurayplayer via DLNA or something.
Even the WDTV I got in 2008 could stream MKVs.

>>56349270
>He doesn't have a server that can transcode on the fly

What are you worst the poor?

>>56349464
What's wrong with VLC?

>>56355142
Code not good enough for videophiles on /g/.

Best format, I just download movies o MKV now.

>>56355606

mpv can't really be said to support mkv though.

>>56349270

>>56356434
Eat a dick, faggot

mkv isnt a codec. its a container.

>>56353979
same here, the cheapest 32" FHD TV I bought for my grandma few years ago plays MKVs from usb storage and can even display embedded SSA subs along with switching audio/subtitle streams

comfiest format ever

>>56355142
Almost eveything.

>not checking x264 compatibility before buying hardware

it's like nobody in this entire thread ever went to x264-bb when it was alive

>>56349270
>have to convert every video I download
Smells like OP is a tremendous fucking idiot.

>nobody remembers the days of installing shitloads of codecs and offering a sacrifice to the windows gods just to be able to watch asian cartoons
kids these days.

>>56357168
x264 compatibility doesn't matter if you're trying to play an mkv with software that doesn't support mkvs.
