MAtroska to ogm?

[Tashi]

is there a way to convert from matroska to ogm, i can do it with vdubmod, but it want to change a 240mb file into a 24gb file, is there any other way of doing this,i got a group of videoss, some in ogm and some in matroska, i was able to convert and burn the ogm ones, but the metroska's are just taking up hard drive space.
thanks, Tashi

I think you are not doing Direct stream copy, are you, which causes vdub to recompress into uncompressed format!

Out of curiousity, why not just burn the Matroska files?

[Tashi]

I'm am unaware of a way to burn the matroska files, Ive been converting all my files to MPEG2 and then burning them with MYDVD4
if there is an easy way to burn the matroska's directly please do tell, also what do you mean my direct stream and how else could i go about doing so?
*is a real noob, bought the burner a week ago*

Welcome to the Forum Tashi

We need some more information so we can help you.
Are you trying to convert the ogm's into VCD's or DVD's so you can play them on your DVD player? Or are you just trying to burn them onto a CD so you can watch them as MKV's later?

If it's the later, then I sugest you learn how to burn data CD's with your burner.


This is not related to containers, so I'll move this to a forum where you can get more help.

Hi, Tashi
Start VDubMod. File-Open. Select .mkv. Click Video. Select Direct Stream Copy. File-Save as... Select .ogm. Give a name to your file, Click Save, After several minutes you will have the .ogm file. Good luck.

I missed that, so he is trying to make his MKV's into DVDs. Well then follow the suggestion that Abond gave you and you should be all set.
