mkv to avi?

[spliffsnatcher]

i've required a copy of 'les triplettes de belleville', the problem is when i try to convert it to an avi vitrualdubmod says that it doesnt recognise it: no decompression found for ÿÿÿÿ...
the reason i want an avi is to transfer it to dvd so my girlfriend (who's a graph artist) can watch it...

Btw: is there a tool for seeing and removing every codec on my system, while searching for the right solution to convert it to avi, i've installed so much codecs and filters i havent got an idea about wich i have and wich i ve not

thx

it probably is realvideo, you cant convert that with VirtualDubMod

use TMPGEnc

you could always try DirectShowSource in avisynth. if you can play it in Media Player, you can encode it with DirectShowSource (TM)

hmm i'm kinda new at this all, could you explain me how to convert it with tmpgenc cause i tried and i never saw an option to convert from a matroska file

[celtic_druid]

TMPGEnc supports input via dshow, if you can play it (via dshow) then it can convert it. Just add it and convert as usual, if it doesn't show up on the input selection, just change the file browser tab thing to All files *.*. Then select it.

i already did that (setiing all files etc..) the eroor i get is : read error occured at adress 00012F40 of module 'tmgenc.exe' with 00000060...

An idea what this might be
