Converting .mkv to .avi for Lacie La Cinema

Post by Noreastah » Wed Jan 20, 2010 3:47 am

The Lacie LaCinema claims it supports .mkv and .mp4 formats but when i get into the interface the files either do not show up or when you try to play them, it claims the file format is not supported. My .avi files seem to work fine so i am looking to convert the .mkv and .mp4 files to .avi. I tried converting a short .mkv file i have but the audio was delayed and the video would not play in Windows Media Player, it was strange, WMP thought the file was 31 hours long when previewing the file in MediaCoder, the audio was delayed but the video seemed to be going very fast, when i would fast forward through the video the audio would not skip ahead, it was still playing the audio from the beginning of the movie. I hope all this makes sense but my question is, does anyone have any experience with converting .mkv and .mp4 files to .avi or any experience with Lacie's LaCinema, and if so would you have a preset setting or work flow that you use that you could share?

Thanks so much for any help
