anime d/l's shifting to .mkv format
« on: February 19, 2006, 12:44:28 PM »
I know the format has been out for a while now. Apparently it allows you to enable and disable subtitles. I think it allows dual layer audio too, kinda like ogg....not sure. Can anyone shed some light on this?

Do you know how DivX works?

It's basically the same thing, it's just a method for compressing various formats into a single file, and using the proper decoder you just unpack it on-the-fly and it plays whatever you select it to play. And just like DivX you can achieve DVD -like menus and interactivity, good news (no i didn't save a bunch of my money on car insurance by swithing to Geico) IT'S FREE!!! Think it's open source too..not sure yet... :huh:

Check out http://www.matroska.org/ for more info.

N.B. DivX uses the .avi video and various audio (AC3 mp3, mp3, etc) .mpeg variants in its codec. Tha's why some movies in .avi are also distrubuted with the DivX player.

(P.S. as you might have figured out, i'm a big fan of DivX  -_-)

well...personally i think basically if you look at anime you should realize that not everyone likes the same format.
Some people like DivX,RealMedia,.OGG etc. so i would recommend you get a good decent CoDec pack and install it.
I recommend these for people who don't plan to do any/not much encoding:

http://download.softpedia.com/software/multimedia/video/divx/XP_Codec_Pack1.3.1.zip

http://download.softpedia.com/software/multimedia/video/divx/klmcodec151.exe
and/or
http://download.softpedia.ro/software/MULTIMEDIA/VIDEO/DIVX/K-Lite_Codec_Pack_2.70_Full.exe

it come with Media Player Classic one of the best free players out there, but if you want you can use Windows Media Player or the BS Player that also come with the above.

N.B. Should Also consider http://download.softpedia.ro/software/MULTIMEDIA/VIDEO/DIVX/K-Lite_Codec_Pack_2.70_Full.exe
If you want something that will play all possible formats imaginable.

Media Player classic is good though and a personal Fav.
