x264 avi to x264 mkv

[deadman36g]

I have come across some x264 avi files that I would like to convert to x264 mkv's. Is this possible? Also, I would prefer to use either ffmpeg or mencoder for this if possible.

doesn't a simple:

ffmpeg -i "input.avi" -acodec copy -vcodec copy "output.mkv"

work properly, or didn't you try that?

Do you have to / want to reencode? If not, simply remux. Take MKVToolnix and throw your AVIs at it. The rest speaks for itself. Easiest going this way
