Does anyone know of a good source URL for codecs for the open source
Matroska video format? I have an MKV file that I can neither play nor
convert to DVD. The MKV format is apparently open source but I only
found players on the official matroska site.

Was hoping someone knew of a dl site for a safe codec for MKV
editing/playing. thanks

In article <p672j5hk9ehtot1vl...@4ax.com>,
Spa...@NoJunkMail.org says...

MKV is not video format ( neither AVI is ).

There are no special video codecs for MKV.
MKV and AVI are multimedia container specifications.
"Decoding MKV" is just separating still encoded video and audio
( plus minor other optional channels ).

There are many video formats capable to be stored in all of them.

So, for example, you can have video encoded
as MPEG-4 ASP ( XviD, DivX )
in AVI or MKV or MP4 ( or others containers ),

or MPEG-4 AVC ( H.264, X264 ) also in the same containers.

Media Player Classing - Home Theatre, or VideoLAN players should be
able to play it out of the box.

For editing I can recommend AviDemux, or HandBrake ( all in one
solutions ), or MeGUI for more complex tasks.

for more questions video related forum
http://forum.doom9.org is highly recommended.

Thanks everyone.

The fact is that my shareware DVD editing software doesn't support it,
that's why I thought it might be just a codec issue.

This file is a high quality one, supposedly. so I don't want any
conversion to be lossy. Does anyone know how to convert this, without
losing quality, to VOB format? From there, I can edit it in my
program and then take it from there. thanks
