Matroska files ( MKV )

[KickF]

Well I have these nice movies that is in MKV ( Matroska fileformat ) it's all very nice ... 2 audio tracks and subtitels :) , there is only one probem ... i can see the Moviesw oon my Computer, but what I realy whould like to do is to DEMUX the matroska file and then have the avifile and the 2 audio tracks seperated ... so I after that could mux the avi and the selected audiotrack back into one avi file so I can se it on my Kiss DP500 DVDplayer in the livingroom. SO is there tools that can demux a matroska file ?

It really depends on what audio/video is in your Matroska file...

Download VirtualDubMod (http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=65889&package_id=63653).
Open video file in VDubMod, and select Video -> Direct Stream Copy.

If it has Vorbis audio then you should go to Streams -> Stream List and save audio as a WAV (to be transcoded later into MP3). You can then disable the audio and save your file (video only) as an AVI. Now all you have to do is mux the audio.

This should work for AC3/Vorbis/MP3 audio and most kinds of video in a MKV container.

virtualdubmod :rolleyes:

btw playing the new avi on kiss will only work if you have a mp3 or ac3 stream in the mkv file

PCM audio should also be a valid option for the KiSS. Its maybe not a bad idea to leave the MKV files for storage, and to convert the files into an AVI with PCM sound only for playback ( takes less than 10 minutes, but of course the files will be huge then, a 700 MB movie should be close to 2 GB after audio decompressing ) and play them from the HDD of your computer, via the DP500's network connection, then delete these intermediate files again ....

Are you sure a MPEG4 codec was used in this file ? if you play the file on your PC, what decoder filters are listed in the playback graph ?

wouldn't mkvextract from the latest mkvtoolnix work for extraction in this situation?

[edit]like this:
mkvextract tracks "a movie.mkv" 1: video.avi 2:audio.ogg 3:subs.ssa

worked for me
