Details:

Before starting the program, we recommend that you install the MKV codec if you want to convert mkv to avi and with subtitle both. Options dialogbox is used to select the output options of the clip.

1. If you want to convert mkv to avi without subtitles. You can select video compressor and audio compressor such as DivX XviD codec 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 the 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. They too 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 DVD / DivX player, or portable devices, you can try as MPEG Layer-3 audio compressor. But the MP3 encoder supplied with Windows has been done in 1997, 56kbps, and not stable. If your computer has installed Fraunhofer Radium MP3 codec, convert mkv to avi will work perfectly. Fraunhofer but not to the detail of 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 can 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 to configure the settings and then select "ffdshow video encoder" again.

The default encoder is MPEG-4, XVID, you can 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, which may not support subtitle conversion. There are errors after clicking the Convert button if the encoder does not support the conversion of subtitles.

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

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

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

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

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

Then launch MKV to AVI with subtitle to convert video files.

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

7. Finally, click the Convert button to start conversion. When you convert mkv to avi, please do not change audio stream or subtitle.

Done! ......
