x264 to XviD

[Rafik]

Hi !

My brother sends to me a video of his marriage. But the problem is that I can't play it on our DivX player :o . The film is an Mkv (x264/Ogg vorbis) file. I used mkvextract to extract video/audio streams.
I need now to recode x264 to XviD.
How can I do that ?

Thanks !

Try virtualdub (http://www.virtualdub.org). Load the file, set the video compression options and save. For 2 pass encoding use the job list.
For the standalone I think you'll have to convert the audio to mp3 or ac3 too.. Try this (http://belight.corecodec.org/). :)
When both video and audio are done, mux together in AVI format, with ie AviMux or VirtualDubMod.

Thanks ! I will try this when i'll be back home. But are you sure that VD accepts .h264 streams ?

Only vfw mkvs, if it was made via command-line or one of the other guis it won't work. You could try a simple avisynth script, or mkvmagic or SUPER should be able to do the conversion.

Install ffdshow and enable h264 codec via libavcodec.

I don't know if it was a vfw or cli made x264 video. I'll try the two methods ...

Sounds like you extracted a raw .264 stream. Probably easier to leave it as an mkv and load via directshowsource() with AVISynth.

Can you explain me how to do that, please ? I'm sorry but I'm not "copain, copain" with AVISynth manipulation.
Thanks a lot !
