No compatible video track #225

Closed byramlbam closed 6 years ago

byramlbam commented 6 years ago

Not sure what I'm doing incorrectly, but on some MKV files I am getting a "no compatible video track" error when trying to convert to mp4. I'm using the same tool (Make MKV) for creating the MKV files, so I'm not sure why some would not be acceptable.

Here's the details on one of the videos I'm having trouble with: ID: 1 ID in the original source medium: 4113 (0x1011) Format: VC-1 Format profile: Advanced@L3 Codec ID: V_MS/VFW/FOURCC / WVC1 Codec ID/Hint: Microsoft Duration: 3h 0mn Bit rate: 13.1 Mbps Width: 1 920 pixels Height: 1 080 pixels Display aspect ratio: 16:9 Frame rate mode: Constant Frame rate: 23.976 (24000/1001) fps Color space: YUV Chroma subsampling: 4:2:0 Bit depth: 8 bits Scan type: Progressive Compression mode: Lossy Bits/(Pixel*Frame): 0.264 Stream size: 16.6 GiB (76%) Language: English Default: No Forced: No Original source medium: Blu-ray

Any help troubleshooting this greatly appreciated!

@byramlbam Sorry I took so long to respond. I'm traveling today.

The problem is likely that that you're using convert-video when you should be using transcode-video.

My convert-video tool is really only for converting between MKV and MP4 files that are produced by transcode-video itself because those files already contain video in H.264 format. Your input file contains video in VC-1 format, which means it needs to be transcoded to H.264 format.

So, try the transcode-video tool instead.

I hope that helps.

Hi Don, I'd say that was a super fast response, actually. Thanks! Transcoding did indeed work for the video, and after that I was able to convert. Thanks for the help, and for making these tools available!
