It is basically an old AVI put into a MKV container.

To fix it, I completely demuxed it and then ran the video track through handbrake to transcode it to x264 and remuxed the video + audio tracks back into a proper MKV.

I'm trying to follow your lead. May I ask a few more questions?

1. I successfully demuxed the movie, and now I see the .AVI video file.

2. You said you ran the video file thru Handbrake and transcoded it to x264. What is the output format after you transcoded the video file, was it M4V or MKV? These are the choices in Handbrake.

3. After transcoding the video file, do I just simply use MKVToolnix to combine all of the video and audio tracks into one .MKV file?

Thank you.

Actually if you're fine with the AVI, you can try playing it and see if it fixes the playback issue. I was just a bit more daring and I had the time to play around so I went further with handbrake to properly transcode it to x264 (I chose MKV).

And you're correct once the transcoding is done, you use MKVmerge to combine all the tracks you want (Audio, Video & Subtitle).

For my copy, I actually found a SRT subtitle from a DVDrip of the same movie and it's synced perfectly so I ended up with a MKV I can keep in my collection.

Memphis Belle is one of those old movies that I want to watch every 4~5 years. It's a modern classic that ages well while I'm still waiting for the Bluray release ha ha ha.

Dave,

Your solution worked.

Thanks.
