movie .mkv

#1 Post by yuuri88 »

I have some problem about movie. I try to use other mkv movie and it can work anyway. but when I put a 200mb movie in game ,it just turn black screen.
Is that because the data is too large?

I believe the data is large, i dont think RenPy could handle it.. OR, mkv is not compatible in RenPy, see in the documentation, there are only few that can RenPy do.

I never heard of mkv before... so maybe that is the problem.
I am a friendly user, please respect and have a good day.

Check the codec of your file, here is a list about supported codecs and containers: https://www.renpy.org/doc/html/movie.html

here is a list of video formats that will work

mkv is a video format that is for raw videos for editing and it will become very large in size

Ren'Py is capable of using libav (included) to play movies using the video codecs:

VP9
VP8
Theora
MPEG-4 part 2 (including Xvid and DivX)
MPEG-2
MPEG-1

and the following audio codecs:

Opus
Vorbis
MP3
MP2
PCM

inside the following container formats:

WebM - highly recommended
Matroska
Ogg - highly recommended
AVI
Various kinds of MPEG stream.

I remember mkv is one of the matroska. Am I wrong? Btw,I try other mkv(smaller)movie and works successful. So maybe how to let renpy handle a large movie is the big problem to me

mkv is indeed Matroska (MatrosKaVideo)
However, mkv is only the container, the video itself will use a codec, you need to make sure you're using one supported by both ren'py and Matroska.
