Convert MKV for viewing on LG TV via USB

[jabulani jonny]

Hey guys,
I'll say that I did this successfully with MKVTools, converting a Blu-ray rip from MKV/FAAC to AVI (either mp3 or aac, i can't remember). Of course I ended up with the demuxed files (is that the word?) and would like to either remux those or simply convert to another container that can be played on the LG. Let me first say, it was not the video format that the LG couldn't play, it was the FAAC audio format.

My goal is to convert the audio only, leaving the video at the best quality, into a playable format for the TV via a USB connected hard drive. I've got QT Pro, MKVTools, VLC and Handbrake. I've only had success with MKVTools, but I'd like to have a more elegant solution of ending up with a single container instead of separate files.

What's the best way to do what I'm asking? I'm also looking for easiest. If MKVTools is it, then so be it, but just want to make sure I'm not missing something. Thanks!

Hi Jony,
maybe i've had too many beers tonite but you sound like you know what your doing. Do you work for LG and afraid to contact the factory?? You sound like a jedi. Anyway, get to know ffmpeg it will be your best friend (if you don't already). http://ffmpeg.org/general.html
I'd give you examples and cli but honestly, read the help link first and you still have questions come back. Cheers
