Anyone know of a decent program to convert .MKV files to mpg, divx or DVD? I havn't been able to find anything...it's rather bothersome as .mkv files are becoming common for high def tv rips...

Thanks..

The only time I ever see MKV files are with anime, which i dont download very often.

Nope, they are starting to do TV shows in .mkv now...The ones I have are 1-18 of Heroes (720p)...I'm not an anime (or hentai) fan at all, but a guy at work is, wich is probably why he knew what .mkv's were :)

**EDIT** Thanks T3h...err screw it..you know who you are...thats too damn hard to type :P I've tried all those though, and other than using 3-5 programs (I'm not about to do that on 18 files), I havn't found anything that's worked...I'm just lazy and want one app to do it...I wish NeroVision would hurry up and support the codec...Grrr..

I've used alltoavi (http://alltoavi.sourceforge.net/) in the past and it works quite well. The only tricky part sometimes is figuring out which audio/subtitle streams you need to use, but that's just a matter of a bit of trial and error.

I've been doing alot of this lately.

Found the perfect guide for you here.....

Bottom line....

Extract the audio and video tracks using MKVExtractGui, then take it from there. Alot of the one click methods are rubbish.
