Title: ISO A Video Converter
Post by: Hardcoretexan on April 29, 2015, 09:48:40 AM

I am looking for something to convert mkv files to mp4.
I am new to linnux and coming from windows xp os I am lost here, I have been trying to find something, I thought handbrake would do that but it doesn't give me any options(that I can find) to pick what format it encodes to.

Thanks in advance

downloaded, installed and updated will not allow me to add a .mkv file (invalid preset file)

VLC can be used for this
Media -> Convert/Save
Then you just Add the .mkv video file and click on Convert/Save button at the bottom.
Next, all you have to do is to select a destination file for example /home/linuxlite/Desktop/Destination.mp4, click Start and wait.

Well. it works for me. Maybe your mkv file is no good. Or. You did something incorrectly.

Edit: Just thought of 2 things. Make sure there are no spaces on .mkv file name. Also with winff you must install for what you want to do = .mkv to .mp4

Code: [Select]

sudo apt-get install libavcodec-extra-54

Also, downloaded and installed how? 256MB of ram in your profile? Please explain your computer specs like so

Code: [Select]

sudo inxi -zv7

2nd Edit: Plays also. Now to transfer to my blackberry phone.

Your inxi shows 3943.9MB while your profile shows RAM: 256mb .

So you can see why I asked. Your profile should read like mine when it comes to ram specs to avoid confusion when answering your threads.

GPU should have in it  Intel Mobile GM965/GL960
CPU should have in it Intel Core2 Duo CPU T5800
Ram should have in it 4Gig.

Just trying to help with friendly advice to make life easier for everyone, including you.
