  1. Hi all,

    I have an MKV with a 4.1H264 stream and DTS stream. I have extracted the streams using MKVExtract and now want to put them in an MP4 container to play on my PS3. Yamb says DTS is not supported so I converted it to AC3 using eac3to but then Yamb crashed when writing the MP4 file (after the import process). Is there any alternative process/tools? Thanks in advance.

    How about using FFmpeg.
    From here ---> http://ffmpeg.zeranoe.com/builds/

    Try this command for your first attempt:-
    Code:
    ffmpeg -i filename.mkv -c:v copy -c:a ac3 filename.mp4

    I just tried ffmpeg, seemed to work good but the audio is slightly out of sync, also what audio bitrate does this produce?

    For your second attempt add a bitrate parameter to your command.
    Something like this:-
    Code:
    ffmpeg -i filename.mkv -c:v copy -c:a ac3 -b:a 384k filename.mp4

  5. If you prefer a Gui TEncoder is one alternative. It works especially well in batch mode.

  6. Thanks, the audio seems to be ok, but it is still out of sync, I think the MKV had a delay of 51ms.

  7. Here's how I would do it with Hybrid
    1. Start Hybrid (current is 2012.04.11.1)
    2. Load source by pressing Main->Input File
    3. select Main->Video handling->passthrough
    4. select Main->Audio handling->Custom
    5. activate Audio->Main->Reencode audio stream
    6. select Audio->Main->Audio Encoding Options->Encoding->Audio format->ac3
    7. select the bit-rate you want for the ac3 Audio->Main->Audio Encoding Options->Encoding->Bitrate (kbit/s)
    8. add Audio selection to AudioQueue by pressing Audio->Main->'+'
    9. set output: Main->Output File (set a file name)
    10. add setting to job queue: Main->Add to Queue
    11. start job queue processing: Main->Start Queue

    Hybrid should handle delay&stuff.

    Cu Selur

    Would MkvToMp4 work? I haven't tried it...

  9. I'm pretty sure ffcoder is another encoder GUI which will let you copy the video and convert the audio etc. Or....

    rebox.NET
    mkv/avi to mp4
    XenonMKV

    1. Use the indexer with Megui. (Tools -> File Indexer)
    2. Start the queue.
    3. Save.
    4. Select desired audio format. Queue the Audio only.
    5. Start the queue.
    6. Demux the video stream using MKVExtractGUI-2
    7. Remux with Megui. (tools -> mp4 muxer) by adding the h264 stream + converted audio
    Megui will automatically adjust the audio stream to a delay of 0 seconds when converting it.
    This will save having to adjust the audio delay when muxing.

    I've used it a few times. Not super fast. But it's pretty much run it, go watch TV and forget about it. Defaults seem to do it. Automatically detects clipping and does a second audio pass if needed. Does normalizaton by default. I haven't noticed any need to adjust volume going from one format to another. The default setting seems to do it fine.

    One thing I've found is it insists on using a Temp subfolder as the work folder. I have external drives that are faster than my system drive. Since it's portable I just copied the whole folder structure to the external drive and run it from there. I have a shortcut to the exe on each drive in case the external drive doesn't happen to be in the dock.

  11. Speaking of TEncoder, it's just been updated to 1.8. I haven't tried the new version yet.
