Hy! So I have a bunch of MKV files that have Vorbis audio codec (ogg), but my TV doesn't support it, so I need to convert it to AAC or AC3. Now I was using PopCorn Audio Converter until now. It seems a new version is buggy, and I can't convert no matter how I try. Anyway, I need you guys to recommend me some good software for this!
SUPER, viDrop.

I always use FormatFactory for any tipe of conversion, it support all formats... also images!!! And is free!!!
Try it, I hope can be useful for you.
Have you tried NCH Switch. Its quiet good for ripping of any kinds of audio. Most of the files I converted were like done properly like 95% success

Show respect to all people, but grovel to none
I tried with almost every one you guys recommended, but I just wasn't happy with the result, so I googled and googled until i found an older version of my default converter. So far it's working just fine
We love you too!
On a sidenote, I never got the latest viDrop to work, either - having to use 0.55 instead.

I'm fine with a slight off-topic on an otherwise serious thread.Originally Posted by IlSoldato
I wouldn't delete off-topic posts even if they completely derailed this thread, anyway. Moving them to the spam one is a better solution.

SomeGuy, one of the main software I use with my converter.
Ohhhh, that's so sweet! Thnx anon!
the best tool for that is eac3to i know coz i am encoder
it seems you got it working this time, but for future reference, it's essentially like this, for every kind of video:
1. you need a demuxer to separate the file to audio and video.
2. then, you have 2 choices:
a. you'll need a decoder to decode the compressed audio stream (to a .wav file)
b. you'll need a converter that can convert the compressed audio to the format you want.
(3a). if you went with option a: you'll need an encoder to encode the uncompressed audio to the format you desire.
3. you need a muxer to mux the video and the new audio stream you created.
notes:
1. the 1 click programs you find just do all these steps automatically.
2. to find the program in each step all you need to search in google is "demux .*insert-extention-here* (ie .mkv)", "decode ogg", "encode aac" etc.
knowing how to do things is so much better than finding shareware tools to do it for you, both because it costs money (sometimes) and because it doesn't work (sometimes).
good luck!
I've always used Xilsoft Video Converter for all my random video conversion needs. I do believe it would work in your case, if you ever need another solution from the one you found.
Yes, its realy very good.
I use it too, and it works fine.
So I have another question. But this one is a bit different. I downloaded two albums, I think they're ripped from iTunes, and they're not in MP3 format, but in M4A. Now the bitrate is 256kbps, and I want to convert them to mp3. What I wanna know, should I convert it also in 256kbps or is AAC codec superior?
