You will get a document open up that's just full of code. This will leave you with 2 files, video.h264 and and audio, more than likely audio.ac3Ģ) Convert the audio stream to AAC 2ch - i used Quicktime pro but use whatever.ģ) This bit is strange but needs to be done. So after days of looking the best i can do as follows:ġ) Extract both the video and audio streams from the mkv file using iMKVextract or MKVtools etc. I've just tested this method on a small mkv clip but it should work.

UPDATE 2: Ok so i MAY have found a solution for us mac users.
#Imkvextract mp4
The MP4 file then played on my mac fine like it normally would but when i try it on my xbox 360, i get sound but no picture!Īnybody having similar problems? Or able to help in anyway? It did this really quickly as it was only re-encoding the audio, not the video.

Exported the video to MP4 movie ("passthrough" set for video options, "AAC" set for audio). As from my understanding xbox/PS3 can't support AC3 5.1ch audio, however they do play the video part which is h.264. The best way to do this was with quicktime pro 7. Then after more investigation i found people saying that you can convert the file without re-encoding the file (changing the container basically). The trouble is that takes about 25-30hrs to complete on my machine. The only one that has worked so far is by converting the whole file to mp4 (h.264 encoding, "go nuts" settings, then in "advanced" set "fit each video in" 4096mb - cos i believe xbox 360/PS3 can't read files over 4gb) in visualhub. I've done quite a bit of research already and have found various techniques.
So as many others i want to l play my hi def mkv files on the big screen downstairs. Downstairs is a xbox 360, networked, connected to a HDTV. I have a home network running with a netgear 108mbps router. I have a iMac G5 2ghz Power PC (1.5gb RAM), with the mkv files on. Let me first explain exactly what i'm doing and working with. I, like a lot of people now, have some hi def. It’s a great alternative to MKVToolnix’s extraction utility because it’s simpler to work inside an interface instead of the command line.This seams to be a topic going round quite a bit at the moment. To sum it all up, MKVExtractGUI is a great choice for MKV enthusiasts. The extraction interval is quite short and all the content was decompressed without significant loss in quality. Attachments and timecodes can be retrieved separately, while the chapter list can be demuxed to XML or TXT files.ĭuring our tests, the application behaved quite nicely. Once you’ve managed to successfully launch it, you can start exploring its features by selecting a source MKV video and selecting the content you wish to extract (tracks, chapters, and subtitles). In order to make it work properly, you are required to place the installation files inside the same folder as MKVToolnix. This is mainly because MKVExtractGUI, as its name may suggest, features a user interface, unlike MKVToolnix, which is command line based. It’s based on MKVToolnix’s strong extraction engine, but it’s a lot more comfortable to work with. MKVExtractGUI is one solution that can rise up to the task. Whether you need the subtitles or the soundtracks included in an MKV video, you can demux the file in order to obtain those. It’s widely used in television and the movie industry because it can encase an immense quantity of multimedia data without visible loss in quality.ĭue to its somewhat permissive structure, MKV containers can be technologically reversed, which means it is possible to extract the streams in their original form when the situation requires you to. The Matroska format, also known as MKV is a highly popular container since it can hold a great number of media files, together with sounds and subtitles. The application was designed as a Graphical User Interface for MKVToolnix’s extraction module. MKVExtractGUI is an excellent little utility designed to demux MKV video files and to extract chapters, as well as audio streams and subtitles.
