Problem with mkv

Hi,

I read lots of threads here, about converting mkv files.I try MKV extract GUI and I triy it with Amvapp, but whatever I do, the Programs doesn't work. And therefore I ask by my own again.

How can I convert mkv to avi or something else?

Thx

There are at least two solution, afaik.

-The first, import the mkv in VirtualDubMod and export it as avi.

-The second, with avisynth, would be using

Code: Select all

DirectShowSource("C:\filepath\filename.mkv")

and than making a fake avi with vfapi.
If the DirectShowSource has some frame order problem, you might want to try ffmpegsource.
The usage of the ffmpegsource is

Code: Select all

ffmpegsource("C:\filepath\filename.mkv")

This doesn't import audio though. If you want to use the audio of the file as well, use it like this:

Code: Select all

ffmpegsource("C:\filepath\filename.mkv", atrack=-1)

One of these should work great for you, I think.

Thx you for your quick anser. But I don't know what vfapi is. The only thing I'm made till know is a avs file with

DirectShowSource("C:\filepath\filename.mkv")

How does it goes on?
Sry for the silly questions but i'm never make something like this before

Oh, I see. Well, in this case it's just better to redirect you to THE guide (I like to call it this way

).
It should have answers to most of your questions about avisynth and whatnot.
In the guide, avisynth is discussed here, while you can get more info about vfapi here.
Sorry if I just link you the guides, it's that these are rather big argument to talk about so it's better this way.

I have the same sort of problem with mkv. To explain my problem i use screenshots:

As you can see i use avisynth with DirectShowSource (#1). I select the cut of anime i would like to convert (#4). I go to file ---> save as... and i select Huffyuv compression
with avi. file ( #2 and #3). Now i select zapisz=save. To this moment i think that i havn't done any mistakes. Ok... now my problem

The only think that is changing in my convertation is the time (#1). No other progres
"current video frame: 0/416", "projected file size: unknown", "video rendering rate: 0.0fps"

WTF!?

Please help

btw. Sory for my english but i am from poland and i am weak in english ortographi
