How To Convert Mkv To Mpeg?

Post by sacha »

Hello !

I have a huge .mkv file that I want to convert to .MPEG2 (in order to keep the best quality).

Can you tell me which software to use? (I can buy one, that's not a problem)

Hope you'll manage to help me!

You can also try mencoder, quenc and hcenc. They provide the best mpeg2 output according to some comparisons posted at doom9

I have another question for you guys:

I have ripped an audio track from a DVD and I downloaded a second audio source to make a replacement since the original audio track of the DVD really sucks.

The problem is that the audio track of the DVD is a bit speeded up compared to the other source I downloaded, so, my question is: How can speed up the second audio track to fit the one of the DVD ?

Which software to use?

Any help is welcomed!
