In both cases I recommend AutoMKV (see signature link) which supports both MKV and Xvid...
Download the main file, any other bits and pieces and you're well on your way to success... any further queries could be posted in the official AutoMKV channel...
You can also check out the AutoMKV wiki (http://automkv.wiki-site.com/) which will help explain installation and other issues if necessary...
Enjoy !
:):D:eek:
Pascal
btw
I also recommend the Constant-Quality profile (default=18... 20, 22, etc... equates to less quality but smaller file) for optimal quality settings...
AutoMKV you can use if you have got:
for video avs file
for audio ac3,mp3, ... file
But first you must create avs file and audio file from HD-DVD (evo files) and that I would know.
When I have got avs file I can compres this to x264 using the line of commands because only that you have got access to all options of codec h264 what can be get the best quality of the move.
All Options in x264 svn-655:
Syntax: x264 [options] -o outfile infile [widthxheight]
Infile can be raw YUV 4:2:0 (in which case resolution is required),
or YUV4MPEG 4:2:0 (*.y4m),
or AVI or Avisynth if compiled with AVIS support (yes).
Outfile type is selected by filename:
.264 -> Raw bytestream
.mkv -> Matroska
.mp4 -> MP4 if compiled with GPAC support (yes)
