Mkv2Avi is a Kommander script that utilizes mencoder to convert Matroska (*.mkv) videos to Avi (Divx or Xvid) format, providing a straightforward solution for file format compatibility issues.
I recently came across Mkv2Avi, a Kommander script that makes use of the popular mencoder to carry out conversions from Matroska (*.mkv) video files to Avi, whether in Divx or Xvid format.
After trying out the software, it was clear that not much effort had gone into the development of the script as the interface was somewhat simplistic. Nonetheless, it proved to be a quick and handy tool for carrying out a few conversions, and I thought it might be useful to others out there as well.
One of the great features of Mkv2Avi is that it allows users to preserve the high quality that is often associated with mkv files by recommending a bitrate of 3000. However, it is important to note that the Divx and Xvid codecs, as well as mp3lame, are required in order to use the software effectively.
Finally, it is worth mentioning that while I found Mkv2Avi easy to use, I cannot offer much support as I am not an experienced mencoder user. Nonetheless, I would highly recommend this tool to anyone who is looking for a no frills, yet efficient solution for converting mkv videos to avi format.
