Install AVISynth and load that file with a script which uses the
AVISynth filter named DirectShowSource. You have do study a little that powerful program, though. Go to http://avisynth.org/

For example, from http://avisynth.org/index.php?page=DirectShowSource:

Quote:
Opens a variable framerate mkv as 119.88 by adding frames (ensuring sync):

DirectShowSource("F:\Guides\Hybrid\vfr_startrek.mkv", fps=119.88, convertfps=true)

I found the easist way is to use winavi and convert it to a dvd. then
I use dvdfab to convert the dvd to AVI. I get better quality making it a dvd first. hope that helps you

I'm trying to convert h264 to AVI as well, but winavi isn't working for me. I load the file, select the conversion and when it starts I get either a 'division by zero' error (whatever that means) or I just get a "winavi has encountered a problem...etc, etc." error.

Should I attempt to load the entire file or should I try demuxing and just loading the video to winavi?

1) Winavi is a piece of crap.
2) Surely converting directly is easiest?
3) DVD uses MPEG-2 which means it is lossy, so you lose quality, not gain it.

Doesn't matter anyway, I already got it figured out.

Its not a matter of preserving or improving quality, its just a matter of wanting to get it to DVD.
