MKVExtractGUI question...

I'm new to this program....so how does one turn it into an avi file after extracting it? All I get are h264s, OGGs, and others.

After you extract the h264 from the .mkv you will need to load it into Vdubmod using the DirectShowSource command and then convert it to a lossless as you usually would.

Is it that DirectShowSource("") one? Load the h264 on that?

Well, I tried to add the command lin I just asked, then added the location of where the H264 is in between those parenthesis, but I got an error when opening it up in VDub mod...

Video returned "DShowsource:Dshowsource: Graph refused to run :unspecified error"

Audio returned "Dshowsource:Render file, the filter graph manager won't talk to me"

You can go to File> Open Video File and choose the DirectShowSource Avisynth template from the drop down box. Select the file and hit open.

I got the same error, only on the screen in red.

You might be using the wrong method to load the file. Find out what codec the file your trying to load is encoded in using something like Gspot.

if you have a video file with the h264 extension and you dont have the codec to play it you could just put the h264 back into the .mkv container on its own using maybe mkvmerge and using directshowsource on the resultant file - or see if directshowsouce works on the file before any extraction

the dshowsource code works while it's in an mkv, but I'm trying to make (or put) an h264 into an avi.

well yeah once you can get the avisynth file to open in vdub isn't it just straight forward from there?
