x264 to XviD his, marriage, convert, problem

andy

Hi !

My brother sends to me a video of his marriage. But the problem is that I can't play it on our DivX player  . The film is an Mkv (x264/Ogg vorbis) file. I used mkvextract to extract video/audio streams.
I need now to recode x264 to XviD.
How can I do that ?
Thanks !

Try virtualdub. Load the file, set the video compression options and save. For 2 pass encoding use the job list.
For the standalone I think you'll have to convert the audio to mp3 or ac3 too.. Try this.
When both video and audio are done, mux together in AVI format, with ie AviMux or VirtualDubMod.

Thanks ! I will try this when i'll be back home. But are you sure that VD accepts .h264 streams ?

Only vfw mkvs, if it was made via command-line or one of the other guis it won't work. You could try a simple avisynth script, or mkvmagic or SUPER should be able to do the conversion.

Install ffdshow and enable h264 codec via libavcodec.

I don't know if it was a vfw or cli made x264 video. I'll try the two methods ...

Sounds like you extracted a raw .264 stream. Probably easier to leave it as an mkv and load via directshowsource() with AVISynth.

Can you explain me how to do that, please ? I'm sorry but I'm not quot;copain, copainquot; with AVISynth manipulation.
Thanks a lot !
