mkv conversion




Posted by loony636

My friend gave me an mkv file with subtitles and told me to convert it to avi WITHOUT losing the subtitles. I didn't understand why until I watch a bit of it and found that it was in Japanese. So is there anyone out there that knows how to convert an mkv file to avi? Or mpg?

You must have the option to put subtitles on or maybe even change the audio, but...

Try a quick google search. I don't know of any, but the process isn't old.

Well I did that already and found two programs that 'convert' mkv to avi. One of them costs money and I don't want to pay money for something that I don't know will work, and the other is called Vdubmod. The explanation I got with it was pretty sketchy, but there seemed to be a way to do it. However, I can't for the life of me work out how to use it (the program is quite complicated and its help is useless). Any more suggestions?

EDIT: Well I actually did find a way to use it. Case closed.
