Can you post a guide for H264/AVC mkv to XVIDAVI conversion?

Post by zardoz » Thu Dec 04, 2008 8:15 pm

As I stated in :
viewtopic.php?t=5436

converting blue ray rips (H264/AVC) matroska files to Xvid AVI DOES
NOT WORK AS EXPECTED (err... does not work at all).

Large mkv files (> 2GB) rarely convert successfully to XVID AVI > 1GB
(always leading to an AVI with a bad index which even virtualdub
cannot repair or KMplayer cannot play).

Can you post a guide for successfull
blue ray H264/AVC matroska MKV to XVID AVI conversion?


Thanx :D

Probably it's issue relate with MEncoder.

Maybe...

You'll get a new riff chunk after every 1Gb in your file. If you don't
want this, use -noodml when encoding, and this won't happen.
Alternatively, use a different container format than AVI.
I will check and try later.

When the resulting file size of less than 1GB, MEncoder writes A/V to AVI v1.0 - played without problems.

When the resulting file size more than 1GB, MEncoder writes A/V to Multipart OpenDML AVI (but incorrectly) - can't play this video.

What can be done in MediaCoder?

Can add -noodml to Extra MEncoder Options (click on Encoder button), then MEncoder writes A/V to AVI v1.0 container.

AVI v1.0 have limit to 2GB (but when I tried, possible save up to 4GB).

Other temporary workaround...

When checked, Sharpya r27811 build correctly (i think) writes A/V to OpenDML container.

Well...
Get this MEncoder build - unpack and copy mencoder.exe to \MediaCoder\codecs\ folder (+ eventually backup old MEncoder).
