I seem to be seeing, more often, this error with some of my MKV files:
“Unsupported File Type”
It’s interesting, the file will be set to “0” along with any other unsupported file in that folder (convenient)
I’m starting to wonder if it is some other problem other than “Header Compression”
The reason: I tried the same file at a different resolution from 1080p to 720p, Media info reports exact same info on both files “OTHER THAN RESOLUTION”, 720p release works fine, 1080p release works AFTER RE-MUX …
Please list supported video resolutions. This may help with file info’s prior to downloading.
Considering to “Back-Flash”, but reading user results doesn’t guarantee this will work, so I will attempt to “Re-Mux” files and report results.
Please reply your success / failures concerning “MKV” only, possible this may still be audio as this was one of the updates in the latest firmware update …
Regards,

As in documented on pages 163-164 of the User Manual?
0 Length files are a differnt problem. Most likely your disk drive is corrupted. Plug the disk into a Win machine and run chkdsk on the drive

All I could find was this on the WD website (P168):

- MPEG4.2 ASP@L5 Rectangular shape video decoding up to 1280x720p30 resolution, support for B Pictures, data partitioning and error
resiliency. No support for global motion compensation (GMC).
- WMV9/VC-1 MP@HL up to 1280x720p60 (<90% of the P-picture macroblocks have 4 motioin vectors) or 1920x1080p24 resolution. Up
to 1280x720p30 or 1920x1080i25 resolution if unconstrained 4MV bitstream.
- VC-1 AP@L3 up to 1920x1080i30 (<60% of the B-picture macroblocks have 4 motion vectors), 1920x1080p24, or 1280x720p60
resolution. Up to 1920x1080i25, 1920x1080p24, or 1280x720p60 resolution if unconstrained 4MV bitstream.

Thank you “parnott100” :
Checking file system on G:
Volume label is Iomega HDD.
Cleaning up minor inconsistencies on the drive.
Cleaning up 1 unused index entries from index $SII of file 0x9.
Cleaning up 1 unused index entries from index $SDH of file 0x9.
Cleaning up 1 unused security descriptors.
Correcting errors in the Volume Bitmap.
Windows has made corrections to the file system.
I use “DISKEEPER” extensively, so this is a surprise for me and was not on my radar, I am humbled…
So far, problem files (re-extracted to portable) seem to be starting up fine !
Regards,
Yes that is the list of the supported video codec profiles and their constraints. Almost all those constraints come from the relevant video codec profile standards.
Also pay close attention to the table preceeding that list which describes the allowable video/audio codec and container combinations for video files.
