How to convert .mkv file to .avi file?

@QBall

hmmm, i tried what u said and when i try to add the .srt file.. it wont let me select, as in i click open (or double click) and it fails to show up on the line where it shows what subtitle file has been open, which means it has failed to open.

@ Confoosed

Did you specify the correct location of the VirtualDubMOD directory when you installed the text sub filter? In fact, are you SURE that you installed the VobSub plugins for VDubMOD to begin with? They aren’t checked by default, so this could be the culprit.

Below are two screenshots of what I mean.


Installation Options:

Try reinstalling VobSub (first uninstall it though) with the added focus on making sure you select the two plugins I indicated in my previous post AND afterwards selecting the folder VDubMOD is installed to.

Important Note:
---------------
Please make sure that when adding subtitles, under the Styles... option, you are setting the correct frame rate.

@Qball

upon request i have reinstalled, even though i had installed the two plug-ins before. I have yet again encountered the same problem, perhaps it is a faulty version i am downloading from - the installation 2.23 setup says that the installation has been completed successfully, yet the close button remains to active

this is where i downloaded it from, if possible, can you check to see if this vobsub is fully functionable

No worries on the installation completion, Confoosed. It’s a well-known, harmless bug that happens at the end of installation. The installation itself went well; you just need to run Task Manager and close the process. A pain, yeah, but it’s a minor issue. It’s happened to me and my VobSub/VirtualDubMOD setup is fine.

VobSub v2.23 is the most recent version.

Check to make sure that the .vdf files were installed into the “plugins” folder (and nowhere else) in the VirtualDubMOD directory.

They would be the following two files:

textsub.vdf
vobsub_vd.vdf

@Qball

it is there, but i noticed it was also in the vobsub folder, so i deleted them. However, it still doesnt work... so i seem to be at an ends here...

@ Confoosed

No, you should not delete the .vdf files in the VobSub folder. I only meant within the VDub folder.

Anyways, there’s another option you can choose. If VobSub is totally hopeless, then install DirectVobSub (VSFilter) instead.

Copy the “VSFilter.dll” to the VirtualDubMOD plugin folder and rename it to “VSFilter.vdf”.

Then continue on as I instructed earlier.

That should hopefully do the trick. :)

@Qball

thank you ^ ^
DirectVobSuB did it.. i was so excited that i worked that i forgot to use compression, and boy was it large ;;> >

anyways... thank you for helping me with my problem :D

No problem. I’m glad it worked out for you in the end. :)

@nitto

u can only use a few select audio streams when u are using .avi, if u transferred from .mkv, u most likely have .ogg. Use a converter to change the .ogg to .mp3 (.avi acceptable and my preference) and ur audio stream should work

Which extension should i rename it to get it to work?
Any help will be appreciated, i’m kinda lost here.

Hi. I’m trying to extract files from an mkv file and I’m having a problem: The video and audio are always out of sinc (video file 24min, audio file 21min). I always get this problemn with mkv, which is making me hate the format. Can anyone help me?

I’m having a big problem: every time I try to extract files from am MKV file using mkvextracgui, the audio and video end up having different durations. I’m really learning to have the format. Also I have some from which I cannot extract the subtitles. And they won’t open in Virtualdubmod. Can anyone please help me?
