How to convert MKV into AVI without loss subtilte?

Oct. 1, 2008 - PRLog -- This guide will show you how to convert MKV file to AVI format and without loss its subtitle after being converted (Generally speaking, there are two types of MKV video with subtitle: plug-in or embedded). Here, we will try our best to give the most detailed information in order to help you.

1. Download MKV to AVI With Subtitle and install & run it.

2. Click the Open Video button, select an mkv file.

3. Click the Options button to configure the output options.

4. Click the Convert button to output video file.

Details:

Before you launch the program, recommend to install the MKV codec if you want to convert mkv to avi and with subtitle both.

Options dialogbox is used to select the options of the output clip.

1. If you just want to convert mkv to avi without subtitle. You may select Video compressor and Audio compressor such as DivX XviD codec as you need. (Some Video compressors and Audio compressors do not work).

If you want to convert MKV to avi file with its subtitle, you must install MKV codec pack before you launch the program. Select the Video compressor with "ffdshow video encoder". The another name "ffdshow Video Codec" may not work.

2. Most audio compressors may not work well. Even they make the program crash. MKV to AVI with Subtitle sets Microsoft ADPCM as the default audio compressor.

If you want to view the converted avi file on the DVD/DIVX player or portable devices, you may try MPEG Layer-3 as Audio compressor. But the MP3 encoder bundled in Windows was made in 1997, 56kbps, and not stable. If your computer has installed Fraunhofer Radium MP3 codec, the conversion mkv to avi will work perfectly. But Fraunhofer does not retail the compressor.

3. Some video compressors have not the settings dialog box. After you select "ffdshow video encoder", clicking the Settings button does not work. You may select the Windows menu Start->Programs->Combined Community Codec Pack->Filters->FFDShow VFW Codec Configuration->FFDShow VFW Codec Configuration. Or select "ffdshow Video Codec", click the settings button, configure its settings, and then select "ffdshow video encoder" again.

The default encoder is MPEG-4, XVID, you may change FOURCC to DIVX, or DX50.

After we tested XVID or DIVX in ffdshow, the 2 codecs support subtitle conversion well. You may try other encoders, they may not support subtitle conversion. There are errors after clicking the Convert button if the encoder does not support the subtitle conversion.

4. If you want to change the size of output file, Please set Bitrate (kbps) in the ffdshow video encoder configuration dialogbox. The Encoding bitrate is bigger, the picture is clearer, but the output file is bigger.

5. After open a video file, at the right bottom of Windows desktop, you will find 2 icons: Haali Media Splitter and DirectVobSub.

Right-click the Haali Media Splitter icon, you may change an audio stream or subtitle:

Right-click the DirectVobSub icon, you may change an audio stream or subtitle, or configure audio/video decoder, or DirectVobSub filter settings.

6. If your MKV file has subtitle, and you want to convert mkv to avi without subtitles, you can disable the function auto-loading in vsfilter. Select Start->Programs->Combined Community Codec Pack -> VSFilter Configuration-> General -> Loading -> Do not load. The default is Load when needed.

Then launch MKV To AVI With Subtitle to convert the video files.

If you want to playback the video file with subtitle, restore the default "Load when needed".

7. At last, click the Convert button to start conversion. When converting mkv to avi, please do not change audio stream or subtitle.

Done!
