Hello,

I’m trying to play MKV files on my xbox 360 which i bought to play HD content on my TV. So I have a movie that I want to play on my xbox

I currently use Moyea Converter to get the MKV-AVI but I lose quality of the audio by using it. It seems only to convert to stereo 128 kpbs (maybe because I’m using the trial) This allows me to play the movie with HD quality but the sound is not as good as I want. I got the system to play at the top (without the cost of a PS3). Then I get the free subtitles somewhere and I use AVI ReComp to hardcode them onto the movie/tv show because my girlfriends english is not perfect or some movies are in foreign languages.

I was hoping to find some easier way to do this. I’ve tried using Media Coder but it doesn’t start all the time, seems to have audio issues with the client, or sometimes no output. I’m pretty good with software but this stuff is all new to me. Please can someone help me. I would really appreciate it. The guides and all that have been confusing usually with some key point or information not clearly explained.

I’ve tried all the guides with FFFDShow but it still doesn’t help, maybe cause my Windows 7 is on the MAC bootcamp

Thank you

Thanks for the help getting these subs working! But when I get to “Then run the enable .bat file as administrator” in your instructions I get lost. I’m a Win7 newb, any chance you could explain this a bit? I searched my PC for any such .bat files and couldn’t find them. Thanks!

Does this method work with mkv files?

I mean, if I had a movie.mkv and a movie.srt files in the same folder will it work in Media Center?

Open Haali Media Splitter Settings, Options, Compatibility. Set Autoload VSFilter to yes.

Thanks for a great site. I have soved many problems with your help so far. Working on my subtitles now (srt in MKV)
I am using CoreAVC for decoder and I have followed this guide. I get Grapphstudio to display that the Direct VobSub filter is loaded (exactly like 2.nd picture in this guide). I still can not get Mediaplayer to show my srt SUB. Any idea of what I am doing wrong?

I am on a 64 bit system.

Kivo,

Get CoreAVC, it will accelerate with ION natively in MC7 and you can still have subs with VobSubFilter. Set VobSubFilter to load subs automatically, then make sure your MKV’s have the desired sub set to forced. Very easy to do. Use TSmuxer to demux the streams then mux back together using mkvmerge (google both of those). You can set sub to be forced in mkvmerge.

This is driving me nut!

Can some please explain how I get into the VSFilter settings?

There must be an easyer way to get into these settings than going through Filter Manager or Graphstudio. Niether of which seem to have a listing for VSFilter.

Either I have done something wrong or I’m looking in the wrong location for the VSFilter settings.

I need some help.

Looking forward to a new plug-in to display subtitle on 7MC. I’m using Nvidia ION+Atom system which is not affordard to disable DXVA during HD video playback.
