The IMMERSE 720p RELEASE PROBLEM THREAD, READ Here for playing solutions :)

Thanks for the info Azerik it was driving me up the wall downloading 720 files and then no sound. I'm using WDTV I think its the first box they brought out and they haven't been updating the firmware for about a year now so I'm looking for an alternative. The info you gave works great and for a novice like me it is really appreciated, I have a little trouble with the sync now but I'm not complaining, its just a pity I have to go remux everything now though.

How many good releases do you have I cant find a listing for iLOVENZB. I know I have zero, I am guessing you do too. Is it a bad idea to call out an admin

Since 4.0.0 has no support for the compression that causes the problem the file comes out playable on the WDTV (at least on my WDTV Live). I looked through the docs on the 4.2.0 version (latest) of MKMerge and I couldn't figure out how to turn off compression. I'm sure there's a way, but for those of us w/o knowledge of how to work these things the 4.0.0 solution is easiest.

Yes there is, it's in my first post....

use "--compression 2:none" to remove the header compression on the audio track 2.

seems like most of their latest releases have been ok...the ones in question did not play on my Xtreamer :(
