Use something like MediaInfo: http://mediainfo.sourceforge.net/en to look at the properties of the .mkv file (that is, if it will actually be able to look at such a large file.) Run MediaInfo at the same time you're running SUPER and use the info the former provides to adjust things in the latter like the video sampling rate and resolution down to lower values for the conversion (forget about extraction or "de-muxing", it's pretty much a waste of time.) You'll have to give up a little of the quality, but stepping down say, to 720p won't be *that* bad and the resulting conversion output file will be much smaller. Note that clicking on the tick box next to "More" in the "Video Scale Size" area will cycle you to a larger set of sizes and then finally, to an area where you can set custom sizes. Make sure that the aspect ratio you choose is proportional to the original aspect ratio or the output's screen image will be distorted. As for the audio, just go with .mp3 as long as your chosen container format will accept it. Once you have all the settings where you want, press the "Encode (Active Files)" button to start the conversion. At that point, it will give you a chance to select the container format you want for the output. AFAIK, .avi won't play on most DVD players or Blue Rays though. Generally speaking, to look at videos on those kinds of machines, you need to convert to .vob. HTH. -- John Corliss BS206. Because of all the Googlespam, I block all posts sent through Google Groups.

Start the video up in VLC to determine the properties - thats the tools menu - codec details. Start up Super(c) import your video and set container to avi codec to xvid audio to mp3 no change in video scale frame rate as reported in VLC bitrate - whatever you want, audio 44100 is probably best 2 channels bitrate maybe 128 now hit the encode buttom at the bottom of the screen. a couple of screen shots here http://www.imageno.com/gx2j1la8q2appic.html -- rich

Many recent dvd players will play divx, I have an average Samsung that plays them no problem. Look on the case for the Divx logo. I convert BBC .mov files to Xvid .avi and store them on the players hard drive. -- rich

Yes, if you look around (I saw one once at Walmart for $39) carefully, you can find a DVD player that will though. Still, pretty sure none of them will do .mkv files. -- John Corliss BS206.

Looking at the equivalent of walmart here in the uk, out of 15 DVD players/recorders-with-hd 13 of them play Divx and there was a player- only round the $39 mark. Don't know about blueray but a quick search came up with this http://salestores.com/lgbd370blura.html -- rich
