This is the output I get when doing the second step: FFmpeg version 0.6.1, Copyright (c) 2000-2010 the FFmpeg developersīuilt on 18:02:10 with gcc 4.2.1 (Apple Inc. I had success doing it this way for one file, but then I tried it on another file, and there is a slight, but noticeable loss in video quality.
That's fine though, because if I do one more thing it gets fixed: ffmpeg -i output.avi -vcodec mpeg4 -b 4000k -acodec mp2 -ab 320k converted.aviĪfter I do this then the file plays without problem.
Or this: ffmpeg -i filename.mkv -sameq -acodec copy output.aviĮither of these will convert the MKV to an AVI, but the problem is that the video does not play smoothly for some reason. The first thing I do is this: ffmpeg -i filename.mkv -vcodec copy -acodec copy output.avi To convert an MKV to AVI, I do two things.
