Das Boot bluray to MKV using AnotherEAC3

[skinney6]

when i run it, it creates an MKV of just the english audio track
no video
i thought i followed this pretty close when i set it up

i want english, it's a start but i need the vid too lol
i'm using MPC HC for playback

[Baldrick]

Maybe try MakeMKV.

Or else post the details from your created MKV, use mediainfo, open mkv, view->text and copy the information.

I tried MakeMKV but i couldn't see any files in the STREAM folder.
I'll have to mess with it more but here is the mkvinfo

That mkv doesn't contain any video at all.

Shouldn't you select a folder in MakeMKV? Or the blu-ray drive.

[skinney6]

Yeah, it's weird, just audio
MakeMKV doesn't support bluray file type .M2TS
How do i use it to make an MKV of a bluray rip?
I've already ripped the blurays to my harddrive using AnyDVD HD.

[skinney6]

in makemkv you select the index.bdmv... i think i see

[skinney6]

i ran dasboot thru makemkv and there was vid but no audio.
I can't win.
i'll post the info later.

.

Tried play with several video players like vlc?

[aedipuss]

imo - for americans the original german audio with english subtitles is the best way to watch das boot. the english translations/voices just don't cut it. and you really should go with the 3 1/2 hour director's cut...

I want it to work in MPC HC. I dont like the idea of having to play certain movies with certian players... ya know?
maybe it's just something i have to accept

that was my original plan but i saw the english DTS when i analyzed it with AEAC3
i'll do the german DTS with english subs... if i can even get that far.

[skinney6]

Das Boot mkv worked with the english dub. i dont know why my system wasn't playing the sound this morning
i just tried to do Bullhead with the dutch dts and english subs but the subs aren't working in mpc

[skinney6]

got subs to work for Bullhead!
i changed some setting in mpc as per...
http://www.avsforum.com/t/1357375/advanced-mpc-hc-setup-guide
toward the bottom there are some subtitle setting suggestions

[skinney6]

thanks for your help!
is there a less expensive mkv conversion?
ill do a new post
