mkv to mp4

[neoxphuse]

Well, I'm going to need some of your experts help. I'm trying import a HD movie (mkv) format into mp4 container so I can put it in my Zune HD. Now the Zune specs say it's h264 with baseline profile and b frames. The audio spec is lc-aac.

Which I have no idea what that means.

I extracted the h264 file and ac3 audio file. I used foobar to convert the ac3 audio file into a 2channel aac file. I muxed the two using Yamb. Can't play it on the Zune software, still says unsupported, but I can play it on VLC. Any ideas what's going on?

The "HD Movie" you have will probably be main or high profile which the zune doesnt support, you will have to use something like Handbrake to transcode the video to baseline profile.

I use XenonMKV to convert mkv to mp4, works perfectly for me.

How would I convert it to the Baseline profile? Can't find anything in Handbrake to do it.

Convert it using the iphone/ipod touch profile i think thats baseline

So I tried using the iphone/ipod touch profile like you said. It encodes in about 2 or 3 minutes or something, but the file doesn't even show up where I supposedly save it. This is just so frustrating. I think maybe I'll stick with the xVid.

Thats odd i use handbrake every day and ive never had any issues with it, sorry to hear it .

You're not feeding it the raw H.264, are you? Try giving it the original MKV, it'll convert the AC3 to AAC for you. Apologies if this is what you were doing.
