Where are these mkv files coming from?

ahh mkv the preferred version of less than legit rippers around the world. seeing as they are mostly used for movies ripped from things like blu-ray i wouldn't hold me breath. it's a basic container format and the codecs used can vary widely.

WHAT I thought the bootleg.com/ blog spot was 100% legit
lol

Maybe try subscribing to a video pool that supplies mp4s might be better.

Is 3gp even still supported?

HaHaHa...

welcome to the world video djing.

Is MKV now supported in Serato Video 1.1?

MKV container supports WAV and FLAC (de.wikipedia.org).

MP4 does not (de.wikipedia.org).

I want to rip a lot of music DVD's into my PC and use Serato Video - and I want to use the best possible (audio) quality (maybe I hear not difference but I want to archive the best quality - also for further usage!).

I'm using VSO Video Converter to rip the DVD's.

When I use MP4 only AAC (lossy) will be used. I've requested VSO to support ALAC (Apple lossless) too.

However, VSO supports WAV + FLAC (lossless) in MK4 container.

Finally WAV + FLAC support by Serato Video would be great to have the best audio quality in the club (I'm playing videos to 3000 - 4000 people in a club).

THANKS!

MKV is by and large a pirate friendly format. They aren't going to make it -that- easy for folks to download MKVs off torrents and other sites for use in their software.

For now you are best off using MP4 and maintaining compatibility.

You can make MP4's with ALAC audio streams. I did a bunch like that five years ago and they worked fine.

Thanks DJMark. MP4 and ALAC is that what I would prefer. But currently VSO Video Converter doesn't support ALAC in MP4. I made a feature request. Hopfefully I will get a reply next week.

Which video converter would you recommend or are you using?

I also have Wondershare - but it creates 768x576 from a 720x576 DVD (and only max 192 kbps?).

Acrok Video converter shows only one track from 30 from a DVD (but works best with BR). :-(

I want to avoid ripping them 2 or 3 times. ~30 music DVDs are waiting. ;-)

Thanks

Also just tried AnyMP4 DVD Toolkit. When I rip into MP4 only AC3 or AAC - both max. to 192kbps.

Does anyone know a DVD into MP4, MPEG-4 ripper which supports lossless - ALAC (or other) - audio tracks?

I've looked, downloaded and tested a lot - but no chance.

So please Serato - support MKV. The most rippers support lossless audio in this container.

THANKS!

I used Apple's "Compressor" to make MP4 files with ALAC soundtracks. It may also be possible with MPEG Streamclip.

Thanks DJ Mark. OK I forgot - I have Windows, not Apple.

btw: File extension MP4 is only the container which contains MPEG-4 (and audio).
