Simple reencode of MKV

[DiGiT79]

Hi all,

because of some strange codec settings i need to reencode some of my x264 MKVs. (L5 -> L4)
Is there a simply way (gui for example) that allows MKV for input and MKV as an output container ?

AutoMKV seems to be fine regarding the settings i can play with, but from the description i can not see if there is a simple way to get MKV as an input format.

Maybe someone of you has an idea for my problem.

Thnx in advance

Any encoder that accepts AVS as input can accept MKV. You just create an Avisynth script like follows:

DirectShowSource("filename.mkv").ConvertToYV12()

and import that instead.

IIRC, you can also hex edit L5 x264 video down to L4. Unless you have too many reference frames, and therefore are over the DPB limit.
