Looks awesome! 1 problem i have is that the video has little glitches throughout - like tiny distortions n blurred lines randomly. anyone else? might just b bad codecs or corrupted file

sbao, that's just one of the downsides of mkv I think... I've had that problem with most 720/1080p movies... Maybe anyone else knows more about it but I don't think it's anything he can do about it...

Problem with mkv? Where do you people get this stuff from?

So for this particular movie you need to use another decoder then ffmpeg based which have problems (like ffdshow, mplayer).
Coreavc, divx h264 decoder, mpc-hc dxva decoder, external players like popcorn hour, all will work fine.

I'm also reporting significant problems watching the file using VLC. I see no problems with mostly-static scenes, but scenes with panning and the like appear pixelated or freeze. The video is completely unwatchable, although the sound comes through fine.

VLC is a ffmpeg based player so obviosuly it will have problems. If anyone would have reported the problem to the devs with a sample, they maybe would have fixed it by now.

Can anyone tell me how to play this on a Mac? DivX 7 decodes the video beautifully, but it can't handle the audio or subs.

To those experiencing freezing or pixellation during the dynamic scenes, i.e. where several pixels change colo(u)r simultaneously, it's nothing more than the hardware not being able to keep up with the data flow. The file itself is not to blame. If you're watching on a computer, try and turn other applications off.

And good heavens no, it's got nothing to do with mkv. As they say, mkv is just a container. The actual encoding has already been done before.

Correct - Anyone With problems such as pixelation and artifacts need to upgrade the codecs they use on the PC, or remux to M2TS so as PS3 can read the files (with a quick recode of the DTS soundtrack)
I use CoreAVC and my pussy wee 2ghz lappy can decode these files through HDMI with Multi Channel sound using around 30-50% CPU Max. Nvidia CUDA support in this codec is the best - prior to that CoreAVC ran up above 90% and ffmpeg was completly unwatchable.
Also KMPlayer is an awesome mediaplayer, best audio/video options i ever seen.

i tried kmplayer with this and sound was out of sync so either anything wrong with file or does anyone have a better player to suggest?

the comments about the pixelation are correct. there's a lot of artifacting throughout the movie. it is HARD-CODED, not due to decoding or "the hardware not keeping up with the data flow." a real group needs to encode a 1080p of this.

for an example, see: yfrogdotcom/1gevangelion111youarenotap

TMA2: I just checked and that scene where you got the screenshot (at about 2:30 into the movie), and that pixelation is NOT there. It plays perfectly fine on my computer (at least the first 3 minutes do, I haven't watched the rest).

And this is using multi-threaded mplayer, whiich just uses ffmpeg, even though [D] claims this will 'obviously have problems'.

Viewed the same location on a MacBook w/ MPlayer and Quicktime both. That corruption is hard-coded. Both torrent and MD5 hashes check out.

to hell with this crap.

There is something definitely wrong with this file. Or something a bit different. My Asus box freaks out with only this file. All other files work fine.

There is nothing wrong with the file. It's 100% fine.
If people can't use proper codecs, it's their fault.

It may not work properly on external players however, due to not being lvlv 4.1 complaint, but it will work properly on a PC using coreavc, and probably other codecs.

Guys guys chill the fuck out, I've got this covered.

To all of you experiencing artifacts, try increasing process priority with the task manager to 'high' or realtime.

I tried that with Media Player Classic and it removed the artifacts.

Ok no, forget it, I think it is the file itself, no offense to the uploader, the movie is awesome, but I downloaded "You can (not) advance, also in .mkv and it plays perfectly without glitches or artifacts.

Also experiencing artifacts here, and it's not my hardware, intel i7-920 with ATI HD4890, it's this file, i have over 800 movies in 1080p in mkv on my file server, not a single one of em has the artifacting issues this file does.

@[D]: 99% of the mkv files in 720p or 1080p released in the past 5 years that i have in my collection all work perfectly with ffdshow + media player classic. I'm not using some bizzare codec and weird player just because for some fucked up reason you decided to encode it in a non-standard format.

Final story: this file has problems, don't bother downloading, and don't seed it.

Perfectly fine as already said prolly i just want to add my "experiance"
Win7 64 bit on a beasty machine and i use Media Player Classic Home Cinema (Lite 64bit 1.6.4.5834 to be exact) + shark codecs 64bit 3.7.6 (could upgrade but nah it works so i rather not spoil that)
And i had trouble with sound as i had my codecs setup - EVERYTHING - untill this worked fine but as stated i believe it is about some nasa technology applied to this particular release so Y its all good but if it has freaky mutated sound check your codecs -> sound filters / In shark's in audio tab LAV audio codec setup it was checking the "DTS" option under bitstreeming which i have set for "analog" if i remember correctly ... hope itll help some1 cause it took some serious thinkling for me but hey i play games all the time...

Finally got it to work on OSX after trying literally every player there is. Even tried MMPC on VMware but got artifacts, no sound in WMP. Got furious at the codec mess that is windows where nothing ever works unless you spend your entire day at it. Then found some beta player for OSX called MPlayerX (not the old one) and voilá, shit is working like magic!

Thank you kaltmetal, that made the distortions go away for other things I had downloaded. I never knew that VLC was the reason they were strange.

I am on a MacBook Pro 15" Running latest Mavericks and I am using h++p: // mplayerx.org/download.html
The movie runs smoothly. Thanks for the upload!
