.mkv files compression?

sc0field · 26th September 2008, 09:38

Hi!
I want to now how can I compress big .mkv files. For example from 1920x*** or 1280x*** .mkv, I want to have 720x***. I've tried VDub +Avisnyth, but VDub can only save files as .avi, but I want to keep the .mkv extension. I'm also not sure wich codec should I use... AVC , 264...
Thanks for your help!

How did you make the .mkv file in the first place?

Just re-encode from your original Blu-ray disc; you'll get much better quality.

OP raises rule 6 concerns and then evades the requests for clarification. Thread closed. OP can clarify matters in a PM to a mod if he believes this is not a rule 6 case.
