So I have been downloading .264 720p hd movies from newsgroups lately and they are all .mkv files - this doesnt fly for my ps3 OR my nero mediahome app for streaming.

I want to burn these files in nero to avchd disc's, and have them in AVI containers to stream or watch on my pc if need be.

Theres a slew of tools for stuffing anything you want into the mkv container. Theres crap for tools and documentation for the other way around.

So far I have been able to extract the ac3 audio as well as a raw .h264 stream using mkvextgui.

I havent found any tools to mux them back into an avi container without first re-encoding them to another codec or just a compromise somewhere. Im looking to avoid re-encoding here.Redkawa has ps3video9 but it creates a file with a stereo 160kb audio stream - I want my surround.

I want to stuff both streams into an avi file, then the ps3 can play it- and hopefully nero can get what it needs from it to make my avchd disc's.

I realize MKV is a superior container but until its compatible with anything that matters to me I cant use it.

Anyone have any idea on what I could use to work with those raw streams and mux them to .avi files? With limited mkv compatibility and distribution penetration Im surprised theres no real full fledged utilities out yet that perform my task.

I never said that I was downloading any illegal copies, or even commercially copy written theatrical movies. I use the word "movies" loosly
Simply downloading .mkv files - free theater movie trailers, hdv cam posted videos, college student hdv videos, etc. anything high quality comes in mkv these days.

Newsgroups arent ALL illegal warez.

yea thats what I originally posted, then kinda thought "wait a minute" and I edited my reply.
I never mentioned anything illegal so I didn't have anything to apologize for, it was simply assumed I was discussing copy written content. My question was very broad and could apply to any mkv content. I never asked about help with the hottest straight from china fast and furious 12 screener or that copy of spiderman 8.
