Hi there..

I tried to use mkvextract to demux the mp4 file from mkv but it failed saying the file format is not recognized...!

Is there any other way I can use/do to get the video from this mkv?

Thanx

1st of all, can you play the file (e.g. in vlc or mpc)?
have you tried virtualdubmod?

It's not possible at the moment. mkvextract does indeed not support creating MP4 files, and VDubMod will not work with such codecids either.

@ Mosu

What about extracting the raw h.264 ? Is this feasible for you in reasonable time ? Or extracting to MPG ( this is spec compliant ) ?
I believe this is very much necessary for MKV to become used for AVC. Thank you.

Yes, that's doable.

I have no idea how to put h.264 into a MPEG PS. And I don't have the time to write MPEG PS output support for mkvextract.
