with the release of harmy's v2 in mkv, and

with our upcoming release for our project..

 

there always seems to be a lot of questions

and issues with burning to bluray or converting

to other formats..

 

list your issues or ideas and solutions here..

 

for me

================================

i'm downconverting the MKV to a lower bitrate avi,

with just one soundtrack (english stereo)..

 

i've used several programs but all have had problems,

and i'm using the latest versions..

 

FIRST : i have an uncorrupted, known good version of the

MKV from myspleen, you need to check that yours is good

also... then

=========================================

got MULTIavhcd from a suggestion...

 

computer number 1-> installed, but the program crashed

when loading the MKV (probably not enough memory?)

 

computer number 2 -> installed, everything loads, but the

program crashes when trying to do any kind of conversion

 

AVIDEMUX -> program crashes when trying to save to a video file

 

VIRTUAL DUB -> crashes

 

Total video converter -> crashes

 

TSmuxer -> program crashes

 

MKV toolnix -> able to split files, but the split files do not load

into any other program and give errors

Solveig multi media splitter -> crashes

 

All to AVI -> crashes

 

AUTOMKV -> doesn't do what i was looking for..

 

the only program that i sort of got to work was: Mediaencoder

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

attempt number 1 -> transcoding error at 50%, the thread locked

up, and crashed, however the file worked so i had half the movie

 

attempt 2-> tried setting a cutting point at 1 hour, but the program

ignored any set time points, and ALWAYS started at the beginning.

 

attempt 3 -> started from scratch, and now it seems to be working..

 

i went to DOOM9 forums, but couldn't find anything too helpful.

videohelp.com led me to a lot of tools, but most didn't work..

 

i saw a whole bunch of standalone MKV -> avi converters,

but all of them crashed..

 

at some point, i'll try to burn a bluray also,

we'll see how that goes.

 

later
