is there an mkv muxer

Postby toto l'asticot » 08 May 2009 21:05

Hello,

I'm trying to convert TS files with multiple audio tracks to matroska (while keeping all the tracks) with vlc. From the gui, this seems possible, however it fails with the following log. While going through vlc doc and website, I found no trace of a mkv muxer is there any? If so do you have any hint on why it fails?

I use the vlc from 32 bits ubuntu jaunty. The TS files comme from freebox recordings.

Thank you for any help!

Don't use VLC to transcode to mkv, this is a bad idea. Use handbrake!

I was not aware of the software, it looks promising, thanks!

In the meantime, I also had a look at gstreamer, it might be possible to transcode to mkv with it too.
