Title: Converting mkv to avi using WINAVI
Post by: mgthunder on July 21, 2007, 11:08:05 pm: Hi,

I used WINAVI 8.0 to convert my mkv files to avi and it works but in "output format" I selected "user defined".

after that I converted avi to dvd and burned.

The result was that everything was great except it visually just makes the TV screen when I play on a dvd player.

you can watch it but it's like pressing half the zoom button. the subs can be seen but the top left and right of the screen barely makes it. I need to shrink it down just a bit.

instead of selecting "user defined" IN THE MKV TO AVI CONVERSION in the output format selection should I select one of the following to make it fit the screen?? any help would be appreciated!

Xvid[640*320:2m]+MP3[44100:128k]
or
Xvid[512*384:2m]+MP3[44100:128k]
or
DIVX HD[720*480:4m]+MP3[44100:192k]
or
DIVX HD[1280*720:4m]+MP3[44100:192k]

Thanks for all your patience!

Mike

They play perfectly acceptably with the correct codecs installed. If you're having a problem with Harlock or QM then I suggest you install Core Community Codec Pack.

For other stuff virtualdubmod for the win >_>

i don't know if this is what you want, but for my DVD's i'm using Avi2DVD to convert my avi's to vob files. it apparently will do the same thing for mkv, ogm, and wmv as well, but i haven't done anything other than avi's (which, by the way, it does wonderfully). i'd recommend at least trying Avi2DVD out and see how that works for you.
