Will this tool fix the problem where some the mede8er only plays the audio of some mkv files?

[Maasbommel]

yes, as that is caused by default enabled header compression it will.

A little help.

You use the big green download button. The list below consists of source files and builds for other operating systems.

using win7 64 bit. Downloaded the win 32 version, i try running th file, and only cmd window pops up and disappears after a split second.
Tried running the file from dos, and when i type it in as required, it says it cannot find the specified file.

Sorry for being a noob, but not sure how all this works.

after it fixed the mkv file, will there be any effects on the video and audio quality of the movie? i noticed that after the process, i noticed that the file size was reduced. May sample file of  2.5gig became 1.8gig.. is this natural? thanks..

[jer1956]

The file should get slightly bigger as the header has to be re-embedded throughout the MKV.

That's what i've expected... but my file got smaller, this is weird. Can someone explain why? Thanks.
