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
-
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

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

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

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.

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 -
- Use the indexer with Megui. (Tools -> File Indexer)
- Start the queue.
- Save.
- Select desired audio format. Queue the Audio only.
- Start the queue.
- Demux the video stream using MKVExtractGUI-2
- Remux with Megui. (tools -> mp4 muxer) by adding the h264 stream + converted audio
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.http://milesaheadsoftware.org/

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