Played MKV Files (With Audio/Sound, but NO Images) ... :_(

[kristall]

Hi! I am new in using VLC Media Player, so can someone out there kind enough to advise me on the below-mentioned problem, which I am having now?

For your kind information, I had downloaded a few MVK Files recently, and I do not understand why I get NO IMAGES when I tried to play certain Files? Audio/Sound is no problem, but there is simply NO images at all!

I have never encountered such problem before as I used to played MVK Files with VLC Media Player, and it had been working fine till recently.

Will really appreciate, it someone out there can advise me with a solution ... ...

Many thanks in advance, and regret for any inconveniences caused.

Have a nice day, and best regards.[/color]

Hi! Thank you, and appreciated for your kind advises.

I have download the Version as per your advised, but the problem still persists, and I still see NO images except for the Audio/Sound is working alright.

By the way, I cannot locate "Windows XP/2000: C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\vlc\vlcrc" to delete my old Config Files ... ... I just simply cannot find any "vlcrc"!?

Appreciated your kind advises, and assistances again ... ...

Which codec is used for the video ?
A lot of people have the bad habit to use real codec and put it into mkv.
And VLC can't read latest real codec.

Hi! If you do not mind, can you please advise me from where can I determine the Codec?

I had tried browsing through "Stream, and Media Info" under "View" when I played a mkv file, but there are so many types of Codec listed.

For example, Stream 0, the Codec is avc1, Stream 1 & 2, the Codec is mpga, and Stream, the Codec is ssa ... ...

Seeking for your kind advises, and assistances ... ...

Many thanks in advance, and regret for any inconveniences caused.

Have a nice day + weekend!

Cheers!

There isn't anyone out there able to help?

Who is the in-charge-of this Forum, or is there anyone who helps to troubleshoot?

I hate to say this, and I have no intention to sound rude, but what is the point of having this Forum if our problems cannot be solved?

Regards.
