Avalon's little Guide: MKV2AVI/MPEG
I wrote for the german doom9 a guide called OGM2AVI/MPEG.
Now it is MKV2AVI/MPEG. I think that the people here can do it with this little guide. If somebody wants it with pics, I can write it, cos I've holidays now. It is also possible that I write this guide for this doom9.page if the man/girl behind doom9.org want this. And here we go: THE AVI METHODE: Start VirtualDubMod (VDM). Load Your MKV-file. Go to 'Streams\Streamlist' Mark the Audiofile and click on 'Demux'. Go to 'Video\Direct Stream Copy' Go to 'File\Save As...' Choose the AVI Container and hit Save. So You have a AVI without a Audio and the audiofile. If you want the Audio into the container reopen VDM (if You closed it...) Open the AVI. Go to 'Streams\Streamlist' Click on 'Add'. Choose the Audiofile. If the Audiostream was OGG, You must reencode it in MP3 or some other format which is supported by the AVI-Container. Click 'Ok'. Save again the AVI using 'File\Save As...' or press 'F4'. THE MPEG METHODE: Start VirtualDubMod (VDM). Load Your MKV-file. Go to 'Streams\Streamlist' Mark the Audiofile and click on 'Demux'. Go to 'Video\Direct Stream Copy' Go to 'File\Save As...' Choose the AVI Container and hit Save. So You have a AVI without a Audio and the audiofile. Start DRPEnc. Setup DRPEnc. Go to 'Source'. Open at 'Supported Files' Your AVI-file. Go to 'Advanced'. Select at 'Templates' a template You want. Change some settings if You want. (Prediction works only with D2V-files till now...) Go to 'Encode'. Set the Outputfile. Hit 'Create Batchfile'. Hit 'Save and Encode'. Wait for the MPEG-File. If You need it read the DRPEnc Manual.

thanks a lot for the guide, but of course it also has to be said that these guides are not usable if there are newer codecs stored in .mkv as it is often the case, like rv9 or vorbis, as for example they cant be stored in (old outdated) avi
so to say its often not that easy to get rid of matroska like these guides maybe make people think

it will become even more funny once native mpeg-4 becomes standard in matroska ..i don't mean 'default', but rather i bet once it can be done easily, i will most likely not be the only one to drop the avi-compatibility-mode quickly and with joy.

I believe there is a mistake in the guide. If you demux audio, it doesn't mean, that it won't be processed. You have to disable it. But why should I demux the sound? If the file is an MPEG-4 ASP CFR, with MP3/AC3/AAC sound, I just open my MKV and save it as AVI (with Direct Stream Copy). I don't have to demux sound unless it is Vorbis (OGG is a container, Vorbis is the copmression).
But if my MKV has an MPEG-4 AVC or RV9 inside, I'm affraid it won't work anyway. |

I've had a lot aboutof problems converting mkv to dvd... I've just got it... all I need for perfect, dual audio, dual subtitle, true widescreen (not 16:9 inside a 4:3) is a program that converts .ass subtitles to .srt subtitles and I'm laughing...
But this guide is a bit useless at the moment, as I've only come across a few older mkv files that actually open in virtualdubmod... i havent searched for other mkv conversion guides.. if i can't find one i'll write one.. but i can't figure out a way to do it with 'free' software yet.. |

Converting MKV to DVD-Video with free SW is very easy. Just follow these steps: 1) Demux audio (MKVToolnix + MKVExtract GUI) 2) Compress audio to AC3 if it is another format (with BeLight f.e.) 3) Make an AviSynth script to convert video. Something like Code:
DirectShowSource("video.mkv") LanczosResize(720,436) AddBorders(0,70,0,70) 4) Open your AviSynth script with HC and compress video. 5) Covert subtitles to SRT (SubtitleWorkshop) and then to SUP (SubtitleCreator) 6) Mux video, subtitles and audio streams with Muxman. 7) Burn your DVD Or use an automated tool such as DVDFlick or FAVC. |

The OP method (specifically the AVI one) works only if you have one MKV file.
I tried appending 2 MKV segments of the same movie and convert them to a single AVI file. This does not work properly with VirtualDubMod. After the junction frame the file does not play correctly. For it to work properly you have to use mkvtoolnix first to append the MKV segments and then use VirtualDubMod to convert to AVI.

Most MKV files can't be opened in VirtualDubMod. This program is unfortunately very outdated and doesn't work with MKV/h.264 files.
If you want to convert MKV to a different format, I'd suggest you to use Avisynth. |

I'm curious as how to convert MKV to AVI using Avisynth. How do you do it? Is it a one step procedure?

Or use ffmpeg source in AviSynth. But if you don't have to change video compression, you can convert MKV to AVI losslessly (at least the video part).
The advantage of using Avisynth is that you can then open the script in VD to create AVI/MPEG-4 ASP, in MeGUI to create MP4/MPEG-4 AVC, in HC or QuEnc to produce MPEG-1/2 or create WMV through WMNicEnc. All these applications take AviSynth script as input. |

I don't need to reencode, but to make a direct stream copy (audio in ac3 and video in xvid) from a MKV container to an AVI container. It seems simple but it is much harder than I thought it would be...
