How do convert 1080p mkv to 720p mkv (also maybe with subtitles?)

hi

How do convert 1080p mkv to 720p mkv (also maybe with subtitles track or audio track?)

My TV doesn't support 1080p (gutted)

I have mucked about converting XVID files in the past and it got a bit stressful
with files being 99GB after a 10 hour convert (you know the story)
and then playing with frame jumping at regular intervals that sort of thing.
also installing 100s of apps that i don't 100% understand on my system.

So I'm looking for a kind of 'one click' 'it actually works option'
also some files may have subtitles or audio tracks.

Is there a good straight forward option out there

Cheers in advance

This works - but you have to have AviSynth, FFDSHOW and Haali Media Splitter installed.

Load the 1080p and select the nearest to 720 width.

 

Thanks for the links

I am trying it out now

I have Klite codec pack installed do i need to install the other programs?
(AviSynth, FFDSHOW and Haali Media Splitter)

i ran the program and 'queued' and 'started' a convert
the video in the program was a bit like it wasn't playing
but queue and convert worked (does that mean i have AviSynth, FFDSHOW and Haali Media Splitter installed?)

Whats the harm it I install them again

 

update :

It works really well but how do i stop the hard black borders?

sorry for all the questions

 

quick update 2:

I converted the files worked brilliantly


I'm using a Sumvision Cyclone 2 Media player

I thought my TV only did 720p.

I had tried to play a 1080p file when i first got the player.

but when i played the converted files today I had left the original 1080p file in the folder and it played WTF?

So I didn't need to convert after all......

it it possible that my sumvision cyclone 2 or TV can play some 1080p and not others.............. or am i haviing another stupid year again?

 

Glad it works.
As to the black borders, if the source doesn't have a border, the output won't either .
If the source has an aspect ratio that isn't 16:9 it would have a border (like a movie that is 2.4:1) then you select a resize that is closest - that would be 1280/2.4=532.
You get a 1280 x 532 with bars that take it to 1280 x 720.

There's a support forum here - but I guess you don't need it now.

Thanks attar

Its making more sense today

I joined the programs forum so i can ask the dev if i have any questions (it seems pretty straight forward though)

The conversions were spot on.

Thanks for the advice/links
