I know MKV is versatile and all, able to use multiple audio streams and multiple subtitle streams is good. Unfortunately my DVD player can only play the static formats that only allow one video, one audio and one subtitle stream.

I've been trying to convert this one h.264 encoded MKV file into an AVI, but to no avail, since the sound is VBR OGG encoded.

Demuxed it, and have tried multiple ways to remux it back so it all functions as an AVI.

-avc2avi
-VDubMod
-Avidemux

And many others. I'll post the MediaInfo and see if anyone can tell me the best static format to convert to, whether it be AVI or MP4 or even MPEG.

MediaInfo of the current video:

You have a DVD player that plays MKV? Sounds good - which model?

Why don't you Demux the ogg and change it to something else.
Ac-3 or perhaps even mp3.
Then create a new MKV with the new audio, video and subs.

No I don't have a DVD player that can play MKV. That's why I need this converted.

Also, when I encoded the ogg audio and created a new MKV, the audio was out of sync.

Create a new MKV with just the Video.
Install the Haali media splitter and Avisynth.
Create a simple script and frameserve the mkv containing the video
to Virtualdub using a simple one-line script - something like this:

directshowsource("c:\mymovie.mkv",fps=23.976,convertfps=true)
(Make sure the fps reflects the actual frame rate)

Create this file in Notepad, call it something like "myfile.avs",
then drag it to virtualdub. Set video to "fast compress", and choose
video/compression - select xvid or Divx/configure/ restore defaults/
Set 1 pass quality mode Q=4. OK out and File/save as avi.

For the rest, convert the ogg to mp3.
Convert the subs to IDX/SUB format, or SRT.
These elements can be merged with the video when it's finished
by using Divx Mux GUI. http://labs.divx.com/DivXMuxGUI

Can't do Avisynth. No Vista x64 edition yet.

Any other hints?

Create the video only MKV.
Does Dr. Divx work in your OS? Give that a try.

Aren't you trying to create an avi from your MKV?

encode the MKV in Dr. Divx .

When it's done, mux in the audio and subs with
divx mux gui (I mentioned this bit in a previous post).

Can't get DivxMuxGui to install. It keeps saying I need the .NET Framework 1.4, but I have the .NET framework 3.5
