How to convert an MKV to AVI with minimal loss
- by OSX NINJA
To convert an MKV to AVI, I do two things. The first thing I do is this:
ffmpeg -i filename.mkv -vcodec copy -acodec copy output.avi
or this:
ffmpeg -i filename.mkv -sameq -acodec copy output.avi
Either of these will convert the MKV to an AVI, but the problem is that the video does not play smoothly for some reason. That's fine though,…
