Matroska file in VirtualDubMod...

[Scintilla]

How can I get the audio to save into the AVI from the MKV? (not that I need it)

It always ONLY saves the video when I try to save it

AVIs don't play nice with Ogg Vorbis audio. You'll have to disable one of the audio streams and convert the one you're keeping to something else, like MP3.

also, then how can I get the subs on? (not like it matters just incase I gotta turn subs off the same way in the future...)

I don't believe there is a way to get VirtualDubMod to display subtitle streams, unless it's got a VobSub plugin that can do it. However, the subtitles should still show up in your favorite media player (be it Windows Media Player, WinAmp, XMMS, or whatever).

But if you're talking about getting the subs into the AVI file, AVI doesn't support subtitle streams; you'll have to hardcode them into the video stream with something like VobSub, and that means recompressing the video. You might be able to do this in VDubMod; I think that, the one time I had to do it, I used GraphEdit.

That's not entirely true. I ran into an .avi that had softsubs in it. Opened it in ZoomPlayer, and you could select if you wanted subs or not. If I find it, I'll show it.

ok, that'd be nice

btw, I can't even demux or even save the audio as a WAV file. It goes into an error. I even disabled both the other audio and the text sub. It'll shut down on me. What's up with that?

Softsubs in AVI is a giant hack so only certain player software will play it back. Ogg audio is also something that AVI was never designed to handle. If this video is just for editing then the audio isn't usually needed. If this is for playback, why convert it to AVI in the first place? Playback on a stand-alone hardware player (DivX/MPEG-4 DVD Player, a portable media player, etc.)? Something else? It's not like most computers have a hard time playing back MKV files with the proper software installed.

Using something like MKVExtractGUI or the non-GUI version (MKVtoolnix) may be better for doing this (you'll still need to convert the Ogg audio and remux it to the AVI video file). Although this doesn't add the subs...

A reason why I need the audio is later in the future, I'm going to use an MKVs audio for an AMV. So I'll need to get that audio converted into AVI format (or mp3, whatever..)
