im trying to convert a DVD-ripped file to an .avi because just as a .mkv, on vdubmod, no sound is heard. i want the audio/talking included for just this one part, few seconds, so i wanna convert it to .avi. but then it doesnt work. it says my .avi is corrupted.

i use super© to convert.

i think if use huffy codec, it'll be toooooooooooo huge.

First, if you want to make AMV with your file, do not use Super.

Second, I suppose that your DVD-ripped file are .vob
-Open them with DGIndex.(highlight all of them in order)
-save the new file (DG will make .d2v and .avs file to play with, along with .ac3 audio file)
-then, open the .avs in Vdub mod.
-Clean it (deinterlace, etc.)
-Convert the audio file with BeSweet (.mp3)
-Stream the newly converted audio in VDubMod

-Now, if you want to make an amv, convert the vdub project with Lagarith or huffy.
-Or, if you just want the anime, convert it with Xvid (it will take less room on your hard drive)

i just need one episode and that's all
also, the files are .mkv.
before i waste my time in trying or lag my computer to death, i just wanna make sure that mkv files work with those directions or not.

So, if I understand you , the DVD- ripper that you used convert in .mkv.

Is there any other file along with it? (.wav, .AC3, .mp3, or any other audio file)

If yes, then you should stream it to your .mkv file in VDubM.

Then, compress with Xvid

I think what Wished means is that he has already mkv files... So what you want to do is demux the mkv files. Try using MKVExtractGUI

MKVEXtractGUI is a demultiplexer that allow you to demux mkv streams, split video, audio and subtitle to separate files, from an MKV file.

You can find it here: http://www.videohelp.com/tools/MKVExtractGUI

After you demux (don't worry it usually doesn't take long) you can do what you want with the video and audio. There is a thing with the audio and video codec used though and you might have to install these codecs (for example AC3 or whatever) in order to use the files. BTW being able to watch the mkv in VLC doesn't mean you have any codecs installed...
