The second argument is the name of the sourceįile. Currently supported is the extraction of tracks, tags, attachments, chapters, CUE sheets and timecodes. The first argument, mode, tells mkvextract(1) what toĮxtract. PS - I DON'T WANT TO TAKE ANY CREDIT FOR THIS - This is just information i've found else or forums and the like.This program extracts specific parts from a Matroska(TM) file to other useful formats. Once you have your mkv file, the whole things takes about 30 mins or less really.

So after all that you should have a mp4 file that is playable on xbox 360 or ps3. Applications/ffmpegX.app/Contents/Resources/mp4box -add /Users/jpschuck/Desktop/video.264#video -add /Users/jpschuck/Desktop/audio.mp4#audio -fps 23.976 output_video.mp4ġ4/ Hit return and wait for the multiplexing process to be achievedġ5/ Your completed.

mp4 fileĩ/ Remove (delete) the last space, then type "#audio" followed by a spaceġ0/ Type "-fps" followed by a space, then enter the framerate number of your video (usually one of the following : 23.976, 25 or 29.97, don't forget to use stops instead of commas) - this will prevent some synchronization problemsġ2/ Type the desired name for your output movie (for example : video_out.mp4)Īt this stage your code in the terminal should look something like this: 264 fileħ/ Remove (delete) the last space, then type "#video" followed by a spaceĨ/ Type "-add" followed by a space, then drop your audio.

This is a bit tricky but goes something like this:Ģ/ Right-click (or control-click) on ffmpegX and choose "Show package content"ģ/ Go to Contents > Resources and locate mp4boxĦ/ Type "-add" followed by a space, then drop your video. To do this i used mp4box in the terminal. Don't ask me how it works!Ĥ) Now you have both your video and audio streams ready to be muxed back together.

This is so the xbox or ps3 can read the file. In the top line of code you should see the numbers "67 64 00 33" - in the second block along i think.

You will get a document open up that's just full of code. This will leave you with 2 files, video.h264 and and audio, more than likely audio.ac3Ģ) Convert the audio stream to AAC 2ch - i used Quicktime pro but use whatever.ģ) This bit is strange but needs to be done. So after days of looking the best i can do as follows:ġ) Extract both the video and audio streams from the mkv file using iMKVextract or MKVtools etc. I've just tested this method on a small mkv clip but it should work.
Imkvextract update#
UPDATE 2: Ok so i MAY have found a solution for us mac users. The MP4 file then played on my mac fine like it normally would but when i try it on my xbox 360, i get sound but no picture!Īnybody having similar problems? Or able to help in anyway? It did this really quickly as it was only re-encoding the audio, not the video. Exported the video to MP4 movie ("passthrough" set for video options, "AAC" set for audio). As from my understanding xbox/PS3 can't support AC3 5.1ch audio, however they do play the video part which is h.264. The best way to do this was with quicktime pro 7. Then after more investigation i found people saying that you can convert the file without re-encoding the file (changing the container basically). The trouble is that takes about 25-30hrs to complete on my machine.

The only one that has worked so far is by converting the whole file to mp4 (h.264 encoding, "go nuts" settings, then in "advanced" set "fit each video in" 4096mb - cos i believe xbox 360/PS3 can't read files over 4gb) in visualhub. I've done quite a bit of research already and have found various techniques. So as many others i want to l play my hi def mkv files on the big screen downstairs. Downstairs is a xbox 360, networked, connected to a HDTV. I have a home network running with a netgear 108mbps router. I have a iMac G5 2ghz Power PC (1.5gb RAM), with the mkv files on. Let me first explain exactly what i'm doing and working with.

I, like a lot of people now, have some hi def. This seams to be a topic going round quite a bit at the moment.
