Mkv to Avi conversion

[Shadowofthedark]

Hi!

How do I convert mkv to avi? I'm doing this to make these videos as a DVD compilation. I was able to do this awhile but I somehow forgot. I'm using mkvextractgui but I can't seem to extract the video part of the mkv. Any guides? Thanks!

SUPER should do it... http://www.erightsoft.com/SUPER.html

Thanks! I already tried SUPER. SUPER is great and all, but only really works in small files and stuff. My file is about 300 MB and SUPER has some synch issues with it.

Can you elaborate on that?

I was able to extract the audio and the subs, but I can't seem to extract the video part of the file.

Hi Shadow,

Try the following ... I had this instruction tucked away somewhere ...

"Get latest version of VirtualDubMod; Dowloaded the Haali MKV Splitter; and create an AVS Script with the next command: DirectShowSource("source.mkv"). Open it with VDubMod and convert to AVI with any codec preferred. To extract the audio you have to open the MKV file itself."

Post back and let us know if it worked.

G!

Can you elaborate further? eg any error message?

that works! but something is wrong... i can only extract small segments, and even those segments are huge files. if i try to extract the whole video, it takes forever, and the file it is creating is in the gigs!

what is going on?

and i try MKVextractGUI.. and that extracts a reasonable sized file. but the video file it extracts is a .h264 file, and i cant do anything with it...it doesnt work. is it supposed to extract an .avi file?
