Note that the first file that you will add will automatically set the name of the output file, it will match the input name, but the extension will be changed to. avi files, then you should simply add one file at the time. Since you are saying you are planning to just convert. You should not use append button, unless your intention is to place the contents of one file after the contents of another (making the final file's duration the sum of all the appended ones). You do that (obviously) by pressing add button and selecting the file or by dragging your files into the "Input files" area. The first thing that you'll need to do is to add the files containing all the needed streams. It actually depends on the command line utility, but it will execute the command with all the needed options for you. In case you are looking for something graphical, you can consider using mkvtoolnix-gui package. Interleave, duration : 24 ms (0.72 video frame) I'm posting the mediainfo in case it helps: GeneralĬomplete name : \\SERVER\Video\Public\test.aviįormat profile : Advanced settings, BVOP : 2įormat settings, Matrix : Default (H.263) I'm not terribly concerned with the time it takes either, provided I can do them in a batch.Ĭan someone familiar with the process please give me a command with the options? but there was horrible artifacting and scenes would just sort of melt into each other. It "played" in that something came up on the screen. I tried the very basic example of: avconv -i file.avi -c copy file.mp4

I gather avconv is the tool, but reading the manual just has me really really confused. So I'd like to try converting them to h264 encoded MKV or mp4 files. but digging through forums says its hit-and-miss.

Specs for the box show that should be fine. I have a bunch of Avi files that won't play in my WD TV Play box. I'm trying to make sense of what I"m finding via Google.
