OK Iv tried for the past two days to extract the video from an mkv with no success here is what I have tried
1. MKVExtractgui
Loaded it in selected track 1 only for video I get this message
(V_MPEG4/ISO/AVC) is an unknown format please write the output extension
I have tried every out put I could think of, tried leaving is as just an mkv nothing. I click save and in half a second it says file saved successfully, But there is nothing (I literally mean nothing no file there’s just nothing)
I tried saving more then just the video file:
Warning: The extraction of video tracks is only supported for RealVideo (CodecID
: V_REAL/RVxx) and AVI compatibility tracks (CodecID: V_MS/VFW/FOURCC). The track 1 will be skipped.
2. So I downloaded another extractor AviMuxGUI again.. nothing I couldn’t even get that to load the mkv
3. So I loaded up VLC player to do a transcode I tried just changing the container (tried all of them) nothing I tried an actual codec transcode (all of them ) still nothing, With this I get an actual file but the file contains nothing that I can see, I try playing it it runs through the time line, but no audio or video
4. VirtualDubMod the file will not open in vdub, so I wrote the directstreem script
<i>directshowsource("C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\folder\1.mkv")</i>
When I make that a .avs and put it into VDUB I get this:

The Video Codec Of the file is v_mpeg4/iso/avc it has both English and Japanese audio and english subtitles so all together there is 4 tracks but I only really want the video. The mkv plays fine in VLC I really don’t know much about these kinds of things but Iv been working on this for 2 days now and searching this forum for a few hours iv done almost every suggestion I could find, and although it worked for those people it didn’t for me, if any one would have any idea how I can extract this so that I can convert to either lossy or avi in vdub (or any other program) I really would appreciate it, either way, thanks for reading this rant
