Wow! Hats off mate, that's exactly what it was. I can't believe it's such a simple thing, I have no idea what's header stripping, not that it matters.

By the way, the TV is not samsung, it's LG 32LH5000, I was just about to try to flash its firmware, which I *really* don't want to risk, and it was this all along. Well done!

Here's a pint for you!

Hi all, first post here, and of course, warmest thanks to Harmy and everyone else who worked on a project!

I have an annoying problem though - files play just fine on my PC, but my TV with built-in codec, reading it of external USB, crashes when I trye to play these! Which is strange, because up until now my TV was happy to decode any single matroska file you throw at it.

I have done a Mediainfo comparison between some MKV files that are OK on my TV and these Harmy's Star Wars files.

SOME RANDOM MKV WORKING THROUGH MY TV:
Format                                   : AVC
Format/Info                           : Advanced Video Codec
Format profile                        : High@L5.1
Format settings, CABAC         : Yes
Format settings, ReFrames    : 8 frames
Codec ID                                : V_MPEG4/ISO/AVC
Duration                                 : 1h 59mn
Bit rate                                   : 4 848 Kbps
Width                                     : 1 280 pixels
Height                                    : 544 pixels
Display aspect ratio                : 2.35:1
Writing library                         : x264 core 56 svn-667C

HARMY'S SW FILES (NOT WORKING):
Format                                   : AVC
Format/Info                            : Advanced Video Codec
Format profile                         : High@L4.0
Format settings, CABAC         : Yes
Format settings, ReFrames    : 3 frames
Muxing mode                         : Header stripping
Codec ID                                : V_MPEG4/ISO/AVC
Duration                                 : 2h 1mn
Bit rate mode                         : Variable
Bit rate                                   : 7 038 Kbps
Nominal bit rate                      : 7 504 Kbps
Maximum bit rate                    : 25.0 Mbps
Width                                      : 1 280 pixels
Height                                     : 720 pixels
Display aspect ratio                 : 16:9
Writing library                          : x264 core 80 r1376kGIT 3feaec2

Since these two files are made with the same video codec, AVC, (and same audio, AC-3, I checked), I assume that it's something to do with the matroska container file that my TV doesn't like? Any suggestions how I could try to fix those so that my TV can decode Harmy's files?

Thanks in advance!
