So ISN'T THERE an easy solution to convert it to lower profile WITHOUT needing of re-encode the video file just change the border as you say.
Is there any EASY to use program that to EXACTLY THAT THING lower the profile of any mkv file into lower profile so it can play even at internal media player of 3dtv's???
So the all procedure i do to simply change the profile from 5.0 into 4.1 it doen't do anything at all? even at mediainfo it shows that the converted file IT IS HIGH@4.1????
A LOT OF THANKS.
Try StreamFab Downloader and download from Netflix, Amazon, Youtube! Or Try DVDFab and copy Blu-rays! or rip iTunes movies!

For some videos it is possible. If the "profile" assigned (or think of it as a name) was higher than the actual data, then you can change those successfully . In these cases the actual data conforms to L4.1 or lower, but someone put a L5.0 label on it.
For others it is not possible. You cannot change the actual video data without re-encoding it. If it uses 5 reference frames in certain sections (you can enter 5 in the encoding settings, but that doesn't mean it actually uses them) .
"Lowering the profile" is like changing the "name." It doesn't change the actual important video data. If the actual video data violates those levels, you cannot do anything except re-encode it
So the all procedure i do to simply change the profile from 5.0 into 4.1 it doen't do anything at all? even at mediainfo it shows that the converted file IT IS HIGH@4.1????
If I have a Honda Civic and I put a Ferrari bodykit on, it's still a Civic underneath. -
mediainfo only reads the headers, so if you change the headers it will tell you what you changed, it you set the headers to signal profile 1.0 mediainfo will report so,.. problem is, that if your stream needs/uses the vbv restrictions like from the level specified, changing the headers won't make you file magically compatible since the nature of the stream didn't change.
-> only sure way to change the level requirements is to reencode,..
ps.: poisondeathray was faster -
Changing the profile with tsmuxer or related programs won't help you. It's like changing the name. The actual important video data is not changed.
If I call you "fits80," you're still "fits79" underneath. Changing the "name" won't help
You likely have to re-encode this one . The only time where changing the profile (without re-encoding) works, is in those videos that are actually L4.1 (just mislabelled as 5.0) - or they don't contain any characteristics that violate high@L4.1 -
So the only correct solution is to download another release of the movie that it was at profile high@4.1 correct?

What did you mean by controlled the settings used????
I don't have external media player ONLY the internal media player that my 3dtv has. -
I mean you rip the blu-ray and you enter the compatible settings for encoding
Or - If you re-encode using compatible settings of your chosing, you have more control as well
Of course the 1st choice will get you better quality
(What I'm getting at is if you download it from somewhere, you have no control what someone else used)
Or maybe an even better idea is build an HTPC - you can play anything without worrying -
Well then there is no easy solution - you have to hope someone used compatible settings, or take your existing video and re-encode it with compatible settings suffering the quality loss and time wasted
If the video was actually high@4.1 content, but "mislabelled" as 5.0, those utilities discussed earlier should work -
What is have better the profiles 5 and above than the profiles 4 and below?????
Is so big the difference at the video quality? -
-
So WHY it encode the mkv files into profile high@5.1 even bluray has the profile high@4.1?????
WHICH IS THE REASON OF THAT? -
-
So which is the reason to use it if it is NOT COMBATIBLE with anyt of that?
So it is a waste of time correct? -
They might be using an HTPC. Then it's compatible for them. Maybe their destination goal is PC playback? Why don' t you ask him
Some settings slightly improve compression (slightly better quality at a given bitrate), but break compabitility. e.g. 10bit avc will get you better compression and quality compared to 8bit, but break compatibility with most standalone devices
So it is a waste of time correct
When you re-encode with a lossy format, it always lowers the quality. If you use higher compressibility settings, it takes longer (maybe hours/days depending on your hardware) -
No this is you tell it ISN'T CORRECT and this is because EVERY CODEC/PC/TOOLS it use THERE IS NO WAY THAT HAVE BETTER QUALITY FROM SOURCE THAT IT IS BLURAY AND HAS PROFILE HIGH@4.1 SO IT IS A WASTE OF TIME.....
-
You never get better quality than the original source
But better compression implies better quality at a given bitrate
You're downloading smaller, compressed re-encoded video, not the actual blu-ray. They are already compressed compared to the blu-ray
e.g. If you have a 10Mb/s re-encode, one that uses better settings will have slightly higher quailty than one that used worse settings . Neither will be as good as the original. That' s the reason to use better settings (which might break compatibility) -
in short: higher profile@level combinations allow the encoder to use additional compression options which can help to archive a smaller output file without sacrificing as much quality.
also fits79, please refrain from writing words in all capital letters. 1st it makes it uncomfortable to read the stuff you write 2nd it's normally interpreted as yelling, which really isn't something one should do while searching for help. -
This tool (uncropMKV) any good? It has profile selection. I also actually have same problem, have to convert mkv to different profile and just label change doesn't work.
https://www.videohelp.com/tools/uncropMKV -
Use this: http://www.xmedia-recode.de/download.html
It changes the H.264 level, the Audio codec and don't disapear with the subtitles out of nowhere (trust me, i couldnt find anything that would do, altogether, this 3 things)
And it even works on my deep-encoded (messed up) mkv anime files. It's ******* awesome.
give it a try
(I've tested the file in a Sony DBP-S590)
