Hi Forum,
I know this question has been asked 41,200,000 times because when I
Google "mencoder convert mkv to avi" I get 41,2000,000 hits.
However none of the answers I've seen are working for me.
I have ripped a movie (Underworld Evolution) with MakeMKV because
mplayer was giving me errors probably due to the encryption Sony
used on the disc.
I now have a beautiful quality 720x480 which is just over 4GB in
size. I now want to convert that video and English audio stream to
AVI so I can watch on my Android tablet. However I've been
completely unsuccessful finding the right mencoder commandline
combinations. I either get audio that is off from the video (when I
rip the audio to a separate wav file) or the conversion stops with
messages like "too many audio packets in buffer (4096 in 7340032
bytes)". I've tried this now on two different Linux machines - a 32-
bit and a 64-bit system.
Here is some info on the MKV from mplayer that may help to solve
this:
