I am trying to convert an mkv file to an avi file and I am having trouble with mencoder.

I keep on getting a message that the -oac command does not exist. Is there something that I am missing?

do you realistically expect help with the amount of info you provided?

always provide command line used and resulting output.

try using a new mencoder GUI, which is alltoavi:

http://alltoavi.sourceforge.net

it converts ogm/mkv to avi using subtitle, has batch mode and subtitle/audio selection


niiice, lets you select language too. been looking for a free program like that for ages, just one problem and question though.

converted a video, set it to convert it in english... however now all of the sound is ridiculously out of sync. any idea how i remedy this? if i just play it as an MKV file the english audio is fine, but for some reason it went all out of sync while converting.

I'm using OGG2AVI and the program works great but after burning the new avi file(which played perfectly on VLC Player) I then tried playing it on my dvd player and it wont play the avi file...I've also tried changing the mp3 bit rate both higher and lower....same thing...no luck. Any ideas on how to get this to work? I'm using a Toshiba SD-3990 DVD player. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

fijha: I don't think ogg to avi reconverts to divx/xvid that your dvd player requires. Reconvert using WinFF or alltoavi instead.

Hi Baldrick,

Since you mentioned AllToAVI and WinFF ... I have few "dumb" Q's ...

Q1: Is there a Mencoder.Exe somewhere or the MPlayer is the application!?!? I have a heck of hard time deciphering the Author's home page.

Q2: How can I change the "Mencoder" version in AllToAVI? AllToAVI crashes in my Vista Home Premium 64-bit!

Q3: In WinFF ... how can I make the converted AVI to be an "Un-Packed" AVI!?!? What is the Additional command?
I know I can unpack it with MPEG4Modifier ... but I think there is a way in WinFF "Additional Command line" to tell the Mencoder to make the AVI unpacked!

Q4: Is there a "Cheat-Sheet" for Command line application for "Newbies" like little ol me!?!?

Thanks,

Hi KCFresh,

Totally Un-Install and clean the traces and then do a clean install with the latest version ... and let install itself where it wants to go ... most likely under X86 program files. Then locate Desk Icon and Right-Click on it and under Properties choose "Run as Administrator" and may be even "in XP Compatibility Mode" and then run the program.

It should work fine!

Use instead handbrake or xvid4psp or winff, etc. This is a very old guide and it wont work for most new mkvs.
