RV9-EHQ in Matroska container (.mkv) to SVCD

[Movieslut]

Guys,

I've some movie encoded in RV9. It has been put in a Matroska container. Specs are as follows:

Video Format.........: RV9-EHQ in Matroska container (.mkv)
Video Bitrate........: 850 kb/s
Resolution...........: 720x304
FPS..................: 25
Audio................: RA8 cook Surround 2*64 Kbps
Source...............: DVD
Language.............: French and English
Sub-titles...........: French and English

I'd like to convert this to SVCD using DVD2SVCD, so I'd have to split them first (I guess) and remux them into an avi.
Question is; how do I do this and what codecs/tools do I need.
If I open the file in Vdubmod it tells me that it cannot find the decompressor. I can, however, play it in MPC and I have installed Real Alternative 1.21 Final.
I've tried fiddling around with Graphedit, but to be honest that confuses me even more :confused:
Any help is most welcome!

Cheers

Ahm, yes.....which rule are you pointing to exactly? I DID search the forum and ran into a gazillion postings on Matroska.
Mind you, I am totally clueless on this. I also have never done anything with RV, so be gentle as it is my first time :)

When frameserving with AVISynth, just use directshowsource().

If I try that, I get 'Could not open file mymovie.mkv: Classfactory cannot supply requested class'

I don't know if AVISynth would be a good way to do this. RealVideo CAN drop frames and do other fun stuff that makes it so you can't be sure that you have a constant framerate. TMPGEnc might handle this better?

Pamel is right, as stated a gazillion times already (;)), using AVISynth here is no option, as its simulating an AVI file ( people tend to forget that ) and thus MUST be CFR, while RV9 is VFR in most cases.

Your only chance is to use DirectShow input in TMPEGencoder directly for reading the file, to do so goto 'options' 'environmental settings' 'vfapi plugin' and increase the priority of the 'Directshow Media Source Filter' by right clicking on it and choosing 'higher priority' 3 times ....

Thanks for the replies.
So, if I understand it right there is no way of transcoding it using cce? That would be a shame because this RV encoding is truly the best I have ever seen. No divx or xvid comes close to this rip, so having to use TMPGenc is almost a setback what quality concerns. Besides that, I want to put subs in the svcd and that will be kinda difficult without framserving.
Sure there arent any nifty tricks up your sleeves? :sly:

Disregard this question. I was to fast and didnt even try things :stupid: ; subs are encoded perfectly. Thanks for the help people...

karl already said that rv9 itself doesnt drop any frames during encoding and therefore is cfr normally
if you use stuff like DropDupe it will be vfr, but thats surely not the majority

to be able to use directshowsource() you need to have gabest's realmediasplitter (+realplayer or realalternative) and matroskasplitter installed

frameserving rv9 over avisynth was discussed already here (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=71281) and surely in many other threads (continue the discussion there if you like)
