[MPlayer-users] Converting mkv to avi?

[Anssi Saari]

Is it supposed to be possible to convert mkv to avi? I tried with 

mencoder -v -oac copy -ovc copy test.mkv -of avi -o test.avi

but it seems to hang, CPU is at 100%, but nothing else seems to
happen. Output follows.  The file plays fine with mplayer.

Writing AVI header...
ODML: Aspect information not (yet?) available or unspecified, not writing vprp header.

Too many video packets in the buffer: (400 in 8396692 bytes).
Maybe you are playing a non-interleaved stream/file or the codec failed?
For AVI files, try to force non-interleaved mode with the -ni option.
ds_fill_buffer: EOF reached (stream: audio)
