What's wrong with this video, Windows 11/macOS = NO, Android = Yes

[tigerb]

I downloaded this mkv video, VLC/MPC-BE/MPC-HC (Windows 11) and VLC/QuickTime Player/iiNA (macOS) all are playing like slow-motion frame by frame. The only player that could play this video perfectly is MX Player in Android.

What could be the caurse?

Thanks.

[ProWo]

Try a simple remux wirh mkvtoolnix.

[tigerb]

Try a simple remux wirh mkvtoolnix.

That was the 1st thing I tried before posting here, I even removed the audio part (one with default audio and one withour audio), but still no go.

[ProWo]

Another try: extract the video with mkvcleaver and remux it then with mkvtoolnix, or upload the video somewhere, then we can have a look.

[tigerb]

Thanks, mkvcleaver is complaining about all sorts of missing executable files.

Here is the link for the video, very fast 1fichier.com https://1fichier.com/?fw3pfe74pw0t1zbkq7cd

[VoodooFX]

Try it on JerkyWEB Fixer.
Just drop it on its icon or usual command line, select 25 FPS.

[ProWo]

Not working

[ProWo]

Thanks, mkvcleaver is complaining about all sorts of missing executable files.

Install it as portable executable.

[tigerb]

Here is the link for the video, very fast 1fichier.com https://1fichier.com/?fw3pfe74pw0t1zbkq7cd

Not working

Link is working, click the link and wait about 30 secs and click the orange button/bar and click again to download.

[VoodooFX]

Link is not working. Few weeks ago I was downloading something from that site - with speed ~30kb-100Kb...
Upload it to a proper filelocker, like Wetransfer or Mega ect., maybe you need to split file in two parts.

[poisondeathray]

I downloaded it ok

Demux/Remux with mkvextract, mkvmerge fixes it. So it's likely a timestamp issue

[tigerb]

I downloaded it ok

Demux/Remux with mkvextract, mkvmerge fixes it. So it's likely a timestamp issue

Thanks for testing the video out, how do you Demux/Remux with mkvextract, mkvmerge?

I only know how to use mkvtoolnix (portable version) is click the mkvtoolnix-gui.exe and drag the mkv file/video in it and click the Start Multiplexing.

I do see mkvextract.exe and mkvmerge.exe in the same folder, but when I click on either mkvextract.exe or mkvmerge.exe, nothing is happening? What am I doing wrong?

Thanks.

[poisondeathray]

You can use gmkvextractgui as a gui for mkvextract, mkvtoolnix-gui as a gui for mkvmerge

[tigerb]

You can use gmkvextractgui as a gui for mkvextract, mkvtoolnix-gui as a gui for mkvmerge

Success, thank you poisondeathray.

1) moved all 4 files in gMKVExtractGUI.v2.6.2 folder to the same folder of MKVtoolnix_64-bit (complaining of not finding MKVtoolnix if left in its own folder)
2) click gMKVExtractGUI.exe and drag UCL MD01 ampor2.mkv to the gMKVExtractGUI.exe pop-up window, select all 3 files, select output folder as source and click extract
3) UCL MD01 ampor2_chapters.xml, UCL MD01 ampor2_track1_[und].avc and UCL MD01 ampor2_track2_[spa]_DELAY -1248ms.mp2 were extracted (3 files)
4) launch mkvtoolnix-gui.exe and drag all 3 files above to the mkvtoolnix-gui.exe window, mkvtoolnix-gui.exe pop-up saying something about chapter...ignore and just click OK
5) click Start Multiplexing and end result video UCL MD01 ampor2_track1_[und].mkv is produced, now the video plays perfectly in all video players (Windows/macOS/Android).

May you have a wonderful day, poisondeathray!
