Brilliant! Thanks!

(This is obviously related to having lots of files saved from YouTube, and just finding out what format they all are created in)

And on the Mac side, use iSquint http://www.isquint.org/

i can’t watch mkv files on my tv why can’t i i mean it’s all just fucking pictures with sound i mean wtf can’t shit just work i’m a little emotional i’ve been trying to get this to work all day well that and drinking whiskey but still

what’s your media device

^ gettign movies from a usb key working on either of these would be just dandy

wtf did that guy go

I paid money for an application that converts mkvs and etc. but obviously not everyone wants to spend money when they are stealing things in the first place.

well that’s me told tbs

Wondershare works really well and there are free trials available for PC & Mac.

tbh i’m waiting on delivery of a hdmi cable that will hopefully make this academic but thks will look that up
