Well here is the first release.
This basically does exactly what is guided in the Easy MKV to MP4 thread on this forum, but automated and easier.
I have tested it under windows XP and Vista and works fine. You will need .net framework installed to run the application.
Here is a screenshot and feedback would be appreciated.

Please leave feedback, both errors and successes.
Thanks

Hi, Firstly thanks for this app.
However I get an unhandled exception error box when I enter a file location. It says 'conversion from string "" to type 'Integer' is not valid
I can press continue but all my options are unavailable.
I am using vista.

Which version of Vista are you using?
You might need to replace the mediainfo.dll with the 64bit vista version if you are using 64 bit... let me know...

Hi,
I am using vista ultimate 32 bit.

The error occurs where MediaInfo.dll is used to extract information about the MKV. Can you provide me with more details about the MKV file in question.
Have you tried any other MKV videos?
So far I have had 100% success rate with the application.

Congratulations on the release b4zzy, saves a lot of time and effort when converting MKV's.
Is there going to be any option in the future for the program not to split files above 4GB or DVD9 rips?
I am in the minority in that i dont stream my HD files to my 360, i much prefer to play them from DVD. I have quite a few DVD9 rips and files around 6-7GB, and would prefer to have the complete file on a DL DVD rather than have 2 DVD's and having to swap halfway through a film.
On a side note, i am using your program now to convert I Am Legend, and it is VERY quick, takes about half the time it takes me to constanly change programs and settings.
Many thanks
-
well thoguht i'd give this a shot and seems to almost complete untill it gets to the part where MP4Box is used and crashes on me any ideas?
and in case you wondered what i was trying to convert was a short (350mb) 720p mkv bluray rip and running on xp media center edition.
-
Any image quality comparisons between the original mkv and the new mp4?

I'm running Vista Ultimate x64, with the Vista Codec Pack installed. I thought maybe it was due to not having the CCCP installed (the Matroska pack), but I'm still getting the error after installing. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Mi|enko download the follow MediaInfo.dll as you are running Vista 64 and replace with the one in the directory and let me know if that works:
MediaInfo.dll x64:
http://www.sendspace.com/file/38xks3Note: No codec packs are needed to run this application, the application will run as it is, just need the .net framework only
You, my friend, are the man. That fixed the problem straightaway. Sorry that I didn't try that first (thought my error was different than the one above).
Edit: Spoke too soon. With the 64 bit file you upped for me, I'm able to load the program; however, when I try to select a file to encode, I'm getting the exact same error as bassthing70.
-
why not use GoTsent, it works withouth problems, and i cannot see why you are devving the same program.
hell it even looks the same as GoTsenT, but GotSent also has the option to mux subs into the mp4

Same with me. I've got about 100 mkv's on my system, and I get the same error no matter which is selected.
-
Unfortunately, the .Net Framework made no difference.
-
OK,
Here is what I have gathered so far...
Both of you have Vista Ultimate, 32 and 64 bit. The error occures when the application tries to load an MKV file and obtain attributes, but since the MediaInfo.dll is not returning the required information, the conversion from an empty String to Integer fails, as far as I can tell from the screen shot. And therefore the application fails to continue.
Is it possible for you to either show me what MKV file you are trying to convert or where you obtained it from by either pm or email at [email protected]?
This will help me work out where the errors foundations lie.
Thanks
-
Ok, I have found the problem...
The MKV file used has AAC audio, which the application does not support, tomorrow I will implement this, and release it here again.
Thanks for the feeedback...
-
Ah. That makes perfect sense. I encoded all of my mkv's with aac. :-D
-
Guys, the perfect solution already exists!
XenonMKV

hi B4zzy
Does this reduce the audio down from 5.1?
Cheers
Joey
-
isnt XviD4PSP already can do this?
i already can convert all my HD X264 AAC-LC MKV Animes to .MP4 with it.
and its just "repack" the container, so there no-recompressing. so its very fast too
but if the audio/video is not an playable X360 codec, it will convert it.
thanks
-
what abuot the soft subtitles? do you not have to recode to get the subs? unless you know Japanese
-
yeah, usually i just watch it without subtitle when the anime is easy to understand.
but for anime like codegeass i just let XviD4PSP re-encode the video to make it hard-subbed
currently x360 only support subtitle in DVD.
there no srt subtitile support, no mp4 embedded subtitle support
-
If I were to use GOTsent rather than a full re-encode would the Xbox 360 be able to read the video file from a burned DVD? I ask this because I wasn't sure if the dvd could read data at the bandwidth. I understand that streaming from TVersity as well as a USB drive would be fine.

I have this question about this app you created also. Does it keep the 5.1 surround as the track or does it turn it into stereo or something else. How does this deal with the audio?
Thanks for the application. Sounds like an interesting one which I will give a try once I know that it will keep the 5.1 surround untouched.

As per the restrictions of the Xbox360 codec pack only AAC LC(in other words shitty quality) 2CH audio can be used. The only formats that support 5.1 channel on the 360 is WMV and Divx/Xvid. However Divx/Xvid is broken with anyfiles over 2Gigs in size with AC3 5.1 surround so if you want to use Divx/Xvid with AC3 you will have to keep the file below the 2gig mark so splitting the file will be needed with HD movies.
I personally recode to WMV for all my MKV sources. I personally want the 5.1 sound and not have files split into pieces. and with that I am left with WMV only. I think MS did this on purpose to force the WMV codec into the spotlight.

hey. i'm new to this board, and found it by looking for a way to convert mkvs for my 360. i downloaded this program, and it seemed to work fine, however it never created a file in my source file. i downloaded and tried GOTSent as well, and had the same exact problem with this program.
i downloaded xenonMKV, and had success, however it split my mkv file (the bourne ultimatum) into two files, and only the second one would play on my 360. the first gave me status code: 69-C00D10E1.
i would rather use x360, as it is very compact and easy to use, but it seems that xenonMKV is the only thing that will work for me. any ideas?
i am using XP.
thanks a lot.

Ok, I know its been long but here it is... give it a try,
Vista users, open as administrator.
64bit users need to download MediaInfo.dll x64 version here
x360 v0.5 beta
Give it a go and let me know...

I am still getting the same unhandled exception error that bassthing70 got. I am running Vista Business x64

Did you replace MediaInfo.dll in the root folder?
-
b4zzy, how about an option to change the resolution of the video?

no mate, but i think its my fault, i think hte mkv was incompatable
how does the force nosplit optoin work? doesnt the 360 only read video smaller than 4gb

Has anyone successfully converted a mkv with this? I haven't had one convert yet

I have a finicky xbox 360. I downloaded your app and loaded an mkv I want to watch. It says that the resulting file will be compliant. It has to transcode the ac3 audio to AAC and change the 264 profile from 5.1 to 4.1
When it's all finished, the Zune software won't play it, and gives me error c00d1199. I can't add it to my Media Player or Zune Library and share it with my xbox 360.
Any idea on why this is?
