The Chit Chat Thread: 2 (Electric Boogaloo?)

[retrolinkx]

So, a couple of weeks back I put the majority of episodes of Twin Peaks on my phone to watch while I take the train to and from London to my university. The ride takes an hour or so which makes it the perfect time to watch it.

I decided that once I finish Twin Peaks I'd put another series on there and decided on Trigun. So I "obtained" the complete Trigun dub and put it on my phone, but for some reason it wouldn't play.

Naturally I assumed it was something to do with video formats, and checked that Trigun was a .mkv, so I went online to convert several of the videos to another format to play on my phone, although I didn't know which one to choose from I was going to make it .mp4 but just to make sure I went and checked what the file format of Twin Peaks was as it played on my phone perfectly.

Turned out Twin Peaks is a .mkv, which makes no sense as to why one set of .mkv files play while other don't.

I'm actually really pissed by this since converting 24 or so episodes to a playable file format could take a day or two and I don't get a lot of time when I come back from uni so I don't want to waste a lot of it converting files and slowing down computers while I do that.

I don't even know anymore, this is just stupid.
