[QUOTE="porky996t, post: 834540, member: 75318"] Hi Curtis, Just a quick response to your very detailed post. 1. I use Handbrake for ripping from DVD to .mkv or .mp4. It does seem a popular choice on this forum anyway. It is free too! You can download it from >>[URL="http://handbrake.fr/downloads.php"]HERE[/URL]<< 2. Two points here. Are you using SAF 6.0 'unlocked'?? If you download it and install without unlocking it doesn't release some of the codecs. If you PM Hoborg, the SAF developer, he should, by return PM tell you how to unlock it. Also I play .mkv's all the time without problems. You may have to check if you have the .mkv file extension listed in the in the video configuartion part of the main MP config panel. If you click on the '+' at the side of Video in the config panel, you should see a subsection noted at "extensions". If you click on this you will see if .mkv is listed, if it isn't you can easily add it by putting it in the blank space at the top of the list and clicking the "add" button. Sorry I cannot help with points 3 & 4; there are others out there who are far more intelligent than I, and will be able to point you in the right direction. HTH, M. [/QUOTE]
