Where the fuck are you running your kino on? Your TV USB port?

Build a server you pleb.

Dumb ass

>>81177227
ac3 audio can't be put into mp4's whereas mkv has no restrictions on video/audio/subtitle streams.

>I'm to lazy to install anything other than wmp

>>81177227
.mkv is good

Aren't there programs that convert shit it's not like everything is stuff forever as an mkv file

>>81177528
Actually .mkv is weird as fuck and it makes it impossible to convert it to anything else.

>>81177540
If you're a retard.

>pirate .mkv
>can't stream it from comp to ps4

Fucking infuriating. This shit-tier console is so fucking picky about everything.

>>81177540
ffmpeg -i input.mkv -c copy output.mp4

>>81177568
Plex does this
PS Media Server does this

>>81177608
woah there hackerbro don't dox me

>>81177540
It can be converted to avi/mp4/whatever using a program. It just takes fucking forever.

>>81177672
You're doing it wrong. If the codecs are compatible with mp4, you can remux it in seconds instead of encoding it.

>>81177613
I know, I've tried both.

>not having smart TVs that can play .mkv

you know that mkv isn't a "real" format, right? It just merges any kind of audio/video/sub streams.

mkv = general container.
That's why it is so popular.

>>81177227
My Sony bluray player has an USB port, and can play MKV files.

I download anything i want, put it on a usb, stick it into my bluray player, and ejoy the show/film i want to watch.

Get better hardware noob.

>>81178186
OP knows it's a container. Typical illiterate tripfag.

>>81177227
My Xbone plays MKV files.

>>81178271
Xbox One is a surprisingly good media player. Plays ancient divx and avi along with all forms of MKV and even 3D video

>>81178186
lol you're an idiot

there are codecs and there are containers. the formats ARE the containers, you fucking idiot.

You can remux mkv into mp4 in literally seconds, even if it's necessary to convert audio in the process. Use XMedia Recode if you need a pleb-friendly GUI.

>>81178619
this is why I stopped trying in vain to find classic JAV

jesus... you'd think on a board dedicated to film and television that they'd know a little about codecs and containers.

>>81177540
DEMUX IT YOU FUCKING BRAINLET

>>81177540
jfc what a fucking retard.

learn to google

>>81177227
It's good you think this OP. Hopefully you work for the mpaa.

>>81177227
MP4 is much more comfy

>>81178705
/tv/ is most probably the most pleb board on the website.

On /a/, nobody pays for crunchyroll.
On /tv/, everybody pays for Netflix.

I don't know how to watch downloaded files on a TV, how do I do it bros?

>>81178818

Hook up a laptop.

>>81177227

WHY CAN'T A PS3 PLAY MKV FILES

WHAT IN THE FUCK

>>81177608
where do I input the command ?

>>81178967
MS Word

Excel can be used to but I wouldn't recommend it unless you know what you're doing.

>>81178967
are you a windows user?

The answer is yes

>>81179033
Is it cmd?
It's cmd isn't it?!

>>81177227
mkv is a plebeian filter
sorry you can't into the best container there is

>it's basically destroyed piracy from the inside out

nope

>>81178322
Go back to neogaf

>>81178552
Yeah but it can't play a ton of other stuff, and some stuff is blocked by the cinavia copy right protection

My TV plays avi, mp4, mkv, all the main containers and codecs except for some shitty old div3 and weird div4

>>81178499
My tv plays it but doesn't play the subs :(
One of this days I am thinking of making an mkv to srt extractor as a project or something.

>>81177227

Remember that the next time some anon bashes your favorite movie, it's most likely some retard who only watches movies on netflix, because it's too hard for him to download a proper version.

>>81179372
>tfw pc and laptop are both noisy and distracting when watching kino in bed from the TV

Can't be fucked replacing all my fans and heatsinks lads

>>81177227

>>81179459
incompatible to retards like him, which is a good thing. some stupid fuck has to pay for movies.

>>81179146
Yes, it's command line but you have to download the compiled application first.

>>81179435
>place PC in closet, or other room

It is a shitty meme format though. Only caught on because Daiz and that faggot Herkz pushed it so hard.

NEVER happens with god-tear FLV or 3GP

>>81179674
Actually it's not the best. MXF is end format of all things. The mainstream plebs haven't caught on though and many features aren't utilized not to mention the standard can be extended to accommodate anything.

>>81178362
My 6 year old LG says otherwise.

Are you still watching shit on a flip phone?

>>81177568
You can stream from any container format if media streams themselves can be decoded on player end, as they are most commonly repacked into MPEG2 transport stream anyway.
