Hopefully someone is experienced with a product that can do this, and it can be freeware, shareware, or if it's really worth it, a commercial product. Most audio may need to be mixed down to stereo, but compliant multichannel passthrough is acceptable (AC3, etc).
H264, NOT x264 - Real MPEG-4 NOT MS-MPEG4 Should have normalization or at least a dB output control Must be able to both trim and resize video Subtitles need to be "burned" to the video, and styled if presented that way Of the 5 or 6 programs I've tried so far that promise to convert these, none have worked for one way or another (missing proper audio, can't output Xvid, AVC, or AAC, has no quantizing, can't resize or trim the image, doesn't see the subtitles, etc.) So, I am sorry if this actually duplicates a prior topic. It may be in there, but buried in hundreds of others that are not applicable. Unfortunately, there seems to be an overabundance of articles that come up in the searches, and none of them actually seem to deal with this, exactly. I have been reviewing articles on this site for the last 2 hours, but cannot find a proper topic, as most refer to methods to convert to DVD or for PS3s, etc. I am reluctant to just add every transcoder that is listed here, as many don't work very well, and a few have left a mess of my system, even after uninstalling it.
#Fastest dvd to avi converter free windows 7 64 bit mp4#
mp4 file (real MPEG-4 NOT MS-MPEG4), and have been failing. mkv files with subtitles into a SD or HD. I have been trying for a while to locate a working converter that efficiently and consistently can convert. I'm asking for those with a lot of experience in transcoding MKV to AVI or MP4, to suggest what they believe is the best conversion software on a Windows 7 platform.
