I found from China, I cannot access www.avidemux.org, so I get no means to read avidemux documents. But my purpose of using avidemux is very simple: to convert mkv movie to avi format.

Can anyone give me a simple instruction for using avidemux to do this job? For this moment, I get following questions:

1. how should i use the 'video' and 'audio' boxes located in the left of the screen?

2. I think I should select 'avi' in the output box, right? but when I open the 'configure' window for the 'avi' format, i found it will split the output file. Can this behavior be disabled? I don't want to get a set of split files, since my subtitle file is a single big one.

3. When I played with my mkv file, the avidemux had ever warned me that the file is detected as H.264, and ask me if or not to use another mode (and, if so, i will lost frame accuracy). What do I do?

Thanks in advance.

mkv is a container format, see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matroska
