I have three blu-ray players and last year they would play 98% of movies with no problems. DIVX, XVID, WMV and whatever else. H.264 is OK too. Even in the MKV container format. Even 1080p.
In the last 6 months about 60% of MKV files (usually the HD ones) need to be moved to an MP4 container to work properly. I use "mkvavi2mp4" which does it without re-encoding.
Now most MP4 files don't play on either of them. Re-encoding HD on a Quad Core stinks.
Is there a new encoding method that breaks playback on Blu-Ray players or set-top boxes? It almost makes me think that 90% of encoded releases these days comes from one single "group" or something. Is that even possible?
I realize technology changes so fast, but it's just strange that less and less movies now play.
BTW I don't expect people to post movies that work on my Blu-Ray player. It's just a bonus. IMO nothing beats viewing JAV etc on a big Wooden Console TV! I also just upgraded to a clicker!
