Converting .mkv too mpg

[daSpurz]

Someone just recently gave me a movie in .mkv format, and I researched online about it, and downloaded a plugin to watch. I wanted to convert it to .mpg or VCD but I used a tutorial where it said to decompress the audio from the .mkv file using avi2vcd, thus, giving me with 2 separate audio and video files. But this method will not work for me, because the program freezes, and stays at 0%, so is there any other possible way to convert this .mkv file to mpg?

Haven't been here for a while, but according to what I know, OGM and MKV's have somewhat similar qualities, and an excellent tool I would recommend for "extracting" audio and subtitles would be VirtualDubMOD.

Check it out and see how it works for you.

So what do u do if u can't seperate the video from the audio????

The MKV files when loaded into VDubMod gives me 'Only handle [S_TEXT/] subs for the moment' error..... I dont even want the subs just the video and audio......

Anyone have any idea how?

I have tried using VDUB Mod, but it only gives me errors, saying that it has some sort of unknown stream, and can only be "direct stream copied", so I am not sure how to use VDUB mod for converting to VCD, is there any other way? Or is using VDUB Mod the best ?

Believe it or not, if you install Matroska Pack, then TMPGEnc will open a Matroska (*.mkv) file by choosing "Open / All files".

Thanks alot! It works well now!

Well I ended up solving my problem by getting mkvtoolnix-0.9.2 which allowed me to extract what I needed from the commandline......

I forget where I downloaded it from but a search should find it fairly quick...
