Well if you get the latest ones don't uncheck it, it will only look for other mkv files if your file ask for it.

As you can see in the logs... your file declares no audio track.
So either it doesn't have one or it is badly muxed and the problem is that vlc needs this info to know what decoder to use.

well it misses the interessant informations...
you need to press stop button and then play don't try to seek.

If the audio is greyed out the file announce no audio track or a track vlc can't play.
Can you open tools->messages set verbosity to two, start playback and paste the logs?

For mkv playing I suggest you to try vlc 2.0-rc1 from http://nightlies.videolan.org/build/win32/?C=M;O=D You may also want to check if the preload-local-dir option is checked in tools->preferences show setting=all input/codecs->demux->matroska If it's checked and your file is in a directory with man...

you have to add :sout-all to keep the subtitles when you record

Do they appear in video->subtitle track and are they enabled.

Can you share the whole logs:
tools->messages set verbosity to 2 and start playback

You can find the 2.0-rc1 on http://nightlies.videolan.org/ in the branch directories

yes it does.

So now, it all works.. except that ass subtitles render badly most of the time, and for 10bit video I get thousands of [0x7f7e6633c2d8] main blend error: blending RGBA to I0AL failed errors. Oh well. [This thread can be closed] Blend has been rewritten two days ago, if you recompile a vlc from git ...

Beware there is still a known bug in mkv parser related to the caching duration. Each time you seek in the file you will lose audio for the duration of the caching. A fix is being written but may not be integrated for the release.

First you apparently modified your preferences because vlc shouldn't use avformat by default to demux mkv. If you are using a packaged 2.0-rc1 you can either reset your preferences or go into tools->preferences show settings=all then Input/Codecs->demux and reset the demux module to "predefined...

Well it seems to use a too old compiler so basically this packages are broken for mkv. I'll report that.

the verbose logs only show one line? I'm even more interested in that file.

What is your video output? tools->preferences->video
Can you try direct3D or opengl? Don't forget to save and restart your vlc after a change.

You mean complete movie to upload....???

Yes (or its source)

Teated with VLC 1.2.0 nightly builds, does not work at all...

What do you mean by "does not work at all"?

Did you wait for the freeze with this logs? If yes do you have a way to upload the file?

Is it ponctual macroblocking always at the same time for the same file and after some time it gets back to normal? Or from some point your file is unwatchable? If it's the first one, then you'll have to upgrade your vlc as this bug has already been corrected. For the second case : Can you open tools...

To play 10bits H264 you have to get vlc 1.2-rc1 at http://nightlies.videolan.org/build/win ... 0115-0207/

Can you paste the whole verbose logs (tools->messages set verbosity to 2 then start playback) and/or upload the file?

This should now works without the preferences option. Feel free to test with tonight's nightly build.

seek in mkv is broken in 1.1 you should try 1.2

I'll check that (provided I can download the files).

I suggest you to read this thread viewtopic.php?f=2&t=96070 and reply to it if you have other problems.

Can you upload a sample?
