Some .mkv don't work on LG 37LS5600 TV

[djdan]

A third of my mkv collection is not working on my TV but work properly everywhere else. It's a LG 37LS5600*. I'm using Handbrake to convert them to MKV, with always the same setting H264 - same as source)(Constant quality @19RF)(H264 Preset=fast)(Tune=Film)(Fast decode=uncheck)(H264 profile=auto)(H264 Level=auto).

Any hints on what going on and what would be the best setup for this TV.

TV: Max 1920x1080 @ 30fps : H264/AVC Profile Level 4.1 and lower : MKV= H264/AVC, Xvid,Mpeg-4 part2 : Sound= He-AAC,Dolby Digital,Mpeg1 Layer3

Thanks all.

A long shot perhaps: You have auto pass through for audio and are using a DTS track. Of course MediaInfo for those that don't work may help.

No, I use (Codec=ACA (FAAC) (Bitrate=160) (Sample rate = AUTO) . Cause I saw on the web that DTS is problem with TV.
Thanks

is it the audio or the video
do you have link to the TV specs
my personal limited experience.. is TVs do not list MKV in their compatible formats
MKV is just a wrapper, use something else like MP4

2nd guess: HandBrake is using it's automatic cropping giving some resolutions the LG don't like.

djdan, do you try MKV2MP4? No need convert video, (only audio if necessary) just remux to MP4.

My bedroom TV is LG model 42LS5600 and play all MKV converted to MP4 using this software

PS: Max "reframes" on stream is 5.

Thanks guys, I'll try MKV2MP4 as per Cauptain said and see. I did try a lot of setting in Handbrake with Quality, Profile, Level, but still in problem. I have 2 films that have 2 versions (One work, but not the other one) so I will take a look at the specs of those 2 mkv films to see if there 's a difference somewhere.
I will use MediaInfo and MkvInfo. If you have a better idea......I'm open. Bye

I load the MKV2MP4 and I see lots of setups. What would be the proper setup for me. I just want to put the 2 audio tracks in AC3, with same quality and # of channels as the input. And as for video it should be as input.

But for now, I can't have the output file. Here's the end of the log:
[Win32] system failure for file opening of D:/Internet Download/Mp4Box\005C4098_isotmp in mode w+b: 0x00000003

In this folder I can see the MkvToMp4 files : (2x .AAC)(1x .264)( 2x .WAV)(2X M4A)(1x .TXT) meaning that this folder is OK

I'm on Windows Xp Sp3.
Thanks at advance.

Cannot open destination file D:/Internet Download\L'enlevement 2 - Taken 2 - action (NO).mp4: I/O Error.

The error would seem to indicate the file is corrupt or is in an unsupported format. It states "cannot open destination file".
