mkv2avi
!!!ATTENTION!!!
BEFORE using mkv2avi
Download RealPlayer10GOLD.dmg from http://www.real.com
(free version).
Install RealPlayer into "/Applications".
What
is this?
mkv2avi
is an utility which allows to pass from Real Video 9 or 10 and any
mplayer supported audio (ACC, Vorbis, mp3 ...) codified files into a matroska .mkv file to xvid video
and mp3 audio .avi files.
How
does it work?
-Drag a .mkv file or some .mkv files onto application icon.
-Insert the video bitrate (the bitrate value in kbit/s must be
between 4 and 16000). The inserted value will be distant from the final value.
i.e. inserting 3000 we could get a final bitrate of 940 kB/s or 1560 kB/s
according to the film quality.
-Consult the terminal to get information about the process.
During
the first activation?
-During the first activation the application controls RealVideo
codec position on your hard disk and the necessary libraries.
-Codecs:
If
not found they'll be copied automatically:
atrc.bundle
cook.bundle
drv2.bundle
drvc.bundle
sipr.bundle
from
RealPlayer.app/Contents/Frameworks/HXClientKit.framework/HelixPlugins/Codecs
to
/Library/Application
Support/ffmpegX/reallib
and
installed
~/.mplayer/codecs.conf
-Libreries:
If
not found they'll be
installed
automatically:
/usr/local/lib/libfaad.0.dylib
/usr/local/lib/libintl.3.dylib
/usr/local/lib/libpng.3.dylib
Why
doesn't work?
-You're
not using Mac OS X.
-The
file you drag could be not a .mkv file.
-The
file name could contain some special characters such as parenthesis. Try rename it to "foobar.mkv".
Why
that final bitrate (see ~/deflog.log)?
-It's mencoder fault, I can't do anything.
-If
you know how, you can change the shell script mkv2avi.app/Contents/Resources/mkv2avi
