Import issues - MKV

[nevada11]

Yeah, its a download source too >.<

You can see the version of Vdub there too, and opened it via avisynth and directshowsource

Please help ='[

Anymore details, feel free to ask

Try to use a ffmpegsource.
Download it from this Doom9 thread. Get the 1.21 version, not the beta. put the dll in your avisynth plugins folder (usually c:\program files\avisynth 2.5\plugins), and create a script with

Code: Select all

ffmpegsource("path to video file", vtrack=-1, atrack=-1)

I had a similar problem with .MKV before. And this is how I got it fixed.

[Excuse double post]

I followed Vax's intrusctions up prior to where he mentioned the script

First, I opened the mkv file via notepad and I got the error message noting that the file is too "large" for notepad and I was advised to use another editor to edit the file.

I was told by Vax, that this is normal. I copied the code given in the post above and ready to paste. The notepad file couldn't "recognize" the mouse even after i right clicked. So I then clicked the Edit tab and then clicked paste.

I saved the document as Hellsing.avs with the same folder as my mkv file.

Now I open the .avs file in Vdub via avi synth and DirectShowSource and I get the error message:

"FFmpegSource: Couldn't open path to video file."
"(Document where .avs file is located)"

I get the same error message when I import it as File --> "Open video file". I also receive the same error message when I import the script in Zarx.

I must have gone wrong somewhere in there

Thanks for reading and the help.

"(Document where .avs file is located)"
Is that what you inserted in your script?

From what I see on your error message it's supposed to be

Code: Select all

ffmpegsource("C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Hellsing Ultimate OVA 1.mkv", vtrack=-1, atrack=-1)

It worked as I imported it via avi synth and directshowsource

But the problem is I expected it to unpack. Now I have to save it as .avi and compress it. It's estimated to be finished in one day.

I try a direct stream copy and its already 1 GB at only 1 minute of encoding.

Is there anyway to speed the process.

Less filters? Faster filters? Better processor? Other than that, no.

My Munto 2 took 37 hours to convert.

Damn-it,

It's worth the wait perhaps.

Thanks for the help.

Hello, I'm new to the forum. Well, actually I've been here allllll along, but have never interacted with anyone else until now... tah-dah! Okay, now down to business...

I have a mkv media file that I need to convert to avi or wmv to import into my editing software. I have sony vegas 8, but I'm self-training myself on the program and it gets frustrating so I take it into Windows Movie Maker often (I know, WHY would I want to do that? I guess I've just been using the crap for so long that it's second nature to me now). So does anyone know of a converter... preferibly FREE that is great and doesn't leave any marks on the video until you BUY the actual converter? I'm a poor college student, as I'm sure most of us are... but I have a few idea's for Witchblade amvs that no one else has done.

Thanks for the help,

Lagger

use avisynth and virtualdub/mod to turn those .mkv files into editable (read: hueg liek xbox) .avi files

the other posts in this thread should be all you need
