mkv to avi help needed

Post by Coffeee » Sat Feb 28, 2009 7:15 am

hey all, I'm trying to convert an x264 mkv to xvid avi.
I did a 1min sample mkv and it worked fine, quality was great.. except as soon as I convert the full 2hr movie, the avi won't play after the convert?! VLC 'plays it' but no video or audio, just the bar moves to say its 'playing, and media player classic skips straight to the end (2hrs of 2hrs for example) but shows the correct frame size?

any ideas? nothing changed between the two file converts! :(

It's old (!) MEncoder issue with writes to OpenDML.

A simple workaround is to replace MEncoder by another build.

http://sourceforge.net/project/showfile ... _id=248631
(At this moment MPlayer-rtm-svn-28311.7z for example / unpack used 7-zip)

Download, unpack and copy mencoder.exe to \MediaCoder\codecs\ folder (+ eventually backup old MEncoder).
