Hi all, Please let's keep in mind that i am new to all this. Just starting to learn. Some of us are able to pick up on the directions here better than others. I just want to learn one thing-Make my Blu-rays into MKV files. I am almost there I believe. I followed these instructions given by RYU77. 1) Rip BD to HDD with AnyDVD HD 2) Demux desired streams with tsMuxeR 3) Re-encode if required with MeGUI/x264 or Nero Recode AVC 4) Mux with mkvmerge GUI to Matroska (mkv) I did (1) Did (2) and got the following files from tsMuxer: 00001.track_4113.264 - 264 file 21+GB 00001.track_4352 - VLC media file (.dts) 3+GB (VLC player is the default for this file) 00001.track_4355 AC3 audio -196,832KB 00001.track_4356 AC3 audio -196,832KB 00001.track_4357 AC3 audio -196,832KB 00001.track_4608.sup SUP file - 38,590KB Now at this point I am stuck. (3) and (4) are where I am not sure what to do. These are the last two issues I am seeking help with. I have Nero 7 Ultra Edition and don't know where to go in this program to do the re-encode. Need assistance with that. And then this Mux with mkvmerge thing. Which i found to be the mkvtoolnix program. I did step 4 with the files I got from step 2 and got the MKV file but the size is too high not the 8GB I was looking for plus the video played back was terribly out of sinc and freezes for a second or two then goes on but still out of sync. A little guidance with this and I should be all set with knowing how to do this process without any help. Please someone help me step by step with these last two steps or all steps in case you noticed I did something wrong. Thank you.
You will need to recode the main movie (video only) using AviSynth/MeGUI to your desired 8GB, then remux your new video and audio using mkvmerge. Unfortunately Nero recodes to mp4 and the max files size for a mp4 is 4GB. All of the tools needed for a recode are freeware BTW. Go to this thread (Ryu77's), read through the entire thread and gather as much information as possible, then ask anymore questions you may have there. http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/639346
