converting an avc1 encoded .mov to something else

[bgbop15]

I have an .mov file encoded with aac audio and avc1 codec, which my pc plays fine with mpc and quicktime alternative.

I want the file to be playable in windows media center.

Anyway to get this to an .mkv or .avi?

I tried automkv and ps3video9, but they squish the image and the audio/video goes out of sync.

Thanks for your help

Use YAMB (http://yamb.unite-video.com/) for example to demux the tracks from your .MOV file and then remux it into MKV with MKVToolnix (http://www.bunkus.org/videotools/mkvtoolnix/).

If you get sync problems you can add delay variable in MKVToolnix to remedy it.

AVC in AVI is the worst thing you can do. so follow the gilron suggestion or eventually you can even use YAMB to remux the stream to MP4 too.
but for gods sake, stay away from AVI.

MKVMerge accepts MOV as input - there's no need to demux the streams first. The same goes for YAMB/MP4Box putting them in MP4.

But really, the combination of Haali's Media Splitter and respective H.264 and AAC decoders (like ffdshow, CoreAVC, CoreAAC, etc.) will make MOV files like that directly playable through DirectShow. I'd suspect Windows Media Center would be no exception to that, although I have zero experience with that particular setup - WMP 6.4 plays them perfectly, though, as does WMP 10 (I don't know about 11 because I don't have it).
