.mkv files? What about it? because in emule i was going to download a film and i saw the film in .avi and the in .mkv i was wondering if it's going to be a new format :? |

mkv it's not a new format. It's old enough. It's the container named Matroska and seems to be preffered among the encoders for some features that avi container can't handle properly. In a matroska container you can insert video, multiple audio (one 2.0, one 5.1 and so) and multiple subtitles streams. Also support for a larger number of video compressors than avi format (x264 to mention it's more than enough).

If you compare AVI to MKV... it depends on the ripper and the codec used, if MKV uses x264... well... the winner will surely be MKV (at the same resulting size) :lol: (even if I still prefere AVI)

Yeah avi is ancient. :) mkv quality is better of course, it has support for codec like H.264/AVC among other technical stuff that avi doesn't. It's a better container if you're an encoder but I hardly think it will replace avi in the long run. It's just not famous enough to get away with it :lol: checkout www.matroska.org for the complete list of features.

Yes, I know they exist, in 350 MB format as standard avi and as HDTV rip usually in 720p format, around 1.2 GB per episode. I know that part of the scene too. But I like the other one more for now. |

I don't get it. VLC plays .mkv files on my system, so does Media Player Classic, but BSplayer doesn't. This can't be a matter of missing codecs, right? (otherwise the other players wouldn't play it either) Now what? |

You have to install Matroska splitter: http://www.free-codecs.com/download/...a_Splitter.htm VLC and MPC got build-in splitters. |

right

I want to convert MOV to MKV but I cannot find the differences. Can some tell me: 1. Is it worth converting? 2. What is the size difference? Which of the two video formats occupies less space in the hard disk (without loss of picture quality)? |
| |||
MOV it's just a container, like MKV. The difference it's that MOV it's Apple's quick time proprietary format, while MKV it's open source. They both support same compresion format. As a general ideea, re-compresing a compressed format just gives you a file in witch quality is lost. |

I converted my father's TZ5 videos from MOV to XviD AVIs with an almost lossless quality (note the almost word) and gaining about a 90% in size

I have been trying to settle on a conversion program but I can't figure out which. Can you specify which program you used for the conversion? I will appreciate some details as I use the same camera.
