Sound but no picture for mkv file

markst33 · 2012-01-14 21:53:25

Hi Folks, I have an Iomega media drive and I can play mkv files on it. Sometime I have to run the mkv file through Popcorn audio convertor to get the sound to play. However today for the first time I came across a case where the sound played but there was no video. has anyone come across this problem before and how did…

An mkv is just a container, what's inside needs to be in a codec the Iomega understands. Not much you can do about it other than recoding it to another codec (which is what you've been doing)
