hey all i have a divx-enabled dvd player and i was wondering what program i can use to select audio/subtitle streams from an mkv file and convert to just an avi that has no audio/sub options but the one i chose originally? thanks.
This quesion has been asked way too many times- search before you ask damnit. Anyway, you'll need MKVExtractGUI to split the mkv files into video, audio and subs. Then you can use VirtualDubMod to combine the files that you want in the finished product- read this thread for the combining part: http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/373886 or http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/371688
thanks. i'm getting problems with mkvextractgui though... first it said that mkvextract.exe and/or mkvmerge.exe were not in the same folder so i downloaded the Wizard which fixed that problem... with the wizard i choose my mkv file with the video, audio and sub streams but when i get to the extraction process i get the error message: "C:\Documents and Settings\NAME\Desktop\Wizard\\mkveX.bat doesn't exist." but this .bat file is created after this error message. also i kno there is no file path "\\" so my question is what do i do?
mkvextractgui as the name implies is just a GUI. It requires mkvextract from mkvtoolnix. I would suggest that you download the full package. As for mkvextract wizard. I am not sure, but if it create the bat, then you should be able to just run it. Decent chance that your mkv doesn't containt DivX/XviD video or even avi compatible video though.
and after you get the mkvtoolnix installed...place the mkvextractorGUI in it's folder. And you will be able to use mkvmergeGUI..to view the contents of the MKV.
