Hi guys! I hope someone can help me with this little issue.
When I play a certain MKV file, everything is fine, but as I hit the record button to capture a small bit of the movie - it suddenly gets some mosaic "tiles" and such all over the capture is useless. I tried looking around and it seems MKV files can be a bit tricky, so I tried doing that uhmmm the "skip loop filter" and check it to "all" but it didn't work. The file plays fine until I try to record something, even if its just a few seconds.

The captured file is also weirdly mosaic-y and such. (I guess it shouldn't matter - but I'm using a win XP with SP3. My vlc version is 1.01. Would updating the VLC player help?

Yes, it would. Please update.

Hi!
Now I've updated to the newest version (the one on the frontpage) - but I still have the same issue. :'(
(the mkv plays fine until i try to record a piece of it.) - i have checked that the settings (skip filter) is set on the newest version aswell.

edit: I just want to add that after the vlc update, when playing the .mov videos i record with my camera, they get all scrambly -mosaic-y aswell.. which is weird as i have never ever had that problem before with my videofiles... but now they all do this. (they are in.MOV) this doesn't happen when I play them in Quicktime though.. :\

You want to record mkv to mkv?

You want to record mkv to mkv?

No i want to record MKV to any format.... ( what format is not important for me, TS, MKV, Mp4 or avi - .... ), but for now it's imposible...

But when i record MKV to TS format - it's always blocking , pixelating and another non wachabe crap

All files included in my posts.

I did some tricks today.
And what i found so far, if i disable audio track ( tds ) on my mkv file, it's records to mp4 with no problem - clear and perfect.
But when i activate TDS or TDS-HD track - it's always problem ( but not with audio but with video recording ).
Without audio MKV records to Mp4
With audio MKV records to TS ...

OK I will pay $150 for someone who can realy help me to fix this problem.

So MKV with a DTS track mis-records?
What about a52?

same problem.
only if i disable AUDIO at all, record - is clear.

Great. We need a bug report then.

Ah, so muting the MKV file will help? I haven't tried that I think. Did you do anything beside muting it? I'm so out of it with these new file types, haha.

edit: OK, so I muted the video that was in .mkv and recorded the piece i wanted. Funnily, now the recording isn't all mosaic and stutters and such - it's perfect! Yay, I thought. It works! But the recorded version, but muted and not muted is still as shabby as usual, full of mosaic tiles and green bits etc.. (it was in .avi, but it varies for some reason. ive seen .ts format being made aswell but whatever file vlc creates its still the same) :'( well atleast some progress I guess?

Yes, muted recorder from MKV working fine. ( read my old posts )
But with AUDIO - record from MKV - all mosaic crap.

So....

Yeah, the thing is, when I recorded, with the .mkv file put to mute, the mkv file didn't stutter/become mosaic or anything, but the resulting video, the one that was only the recorded bit, was just as mosaic-y as usual :\

edit: just want to add that when i disabled audio and recorded, albeit still some mosaic and green parts, it's not as bad as with audio. it stutters a bit but the images aren't as mosaic-y and such as it was at first so it helps atleast
