MKV to AVI Converter
key review info
- Application: MKV to AVI Converter 3.0.054
- Reviewed on:
application features
- Encode AVI with DIVX, XVID, Windows Media Audio and Video Codec, DV Video Encoder, etc.
- (3 more, see all...)
Video conversion software is everywhere and turning from one standard to another is a cinch with most software. With Matroska files (MKV), however, the task may prove to be quite a difficult one, as the format is more complex, being able to contain video, audio and subtitles. The format is highly appreciated among anime fans since it features selectable subtitle tracks and audio streams, chapter entries or menus (just like DVDs).
As the cross-platform, open-source gains more and more turf, the need of converting to and from MKV will grow significantly. So having a converter that can handle this format easily and with the least effort from the user would be a good addition to your software collection.
DigitByte Studio comes to the rescue offering MKV to AVI Converter, a shareware application designed exclusively to convert MKV files to AVI video standard, just as its name says, and to split the resulting file. The software comes at a $29.99 price and no time restriction for evaluation purposes. There is however a limitation that prevents full use of the software without paying the fee: it will convert only 1 minute of any video you try to convert. It is a pretty harsh limitation, but even so you can judge the quality of the software.
The interface is as simple as can be, not requiring too much effort from the user, as everything is explicit. Before starting your work with the software, there are a couple of things you should be aware of: the application does not bring matroska codecs, so you will have to download them on your own and the recommended codec to work for the best conversion results is DivX, although it comes with a list of codecs by itself.
Once you have loaded the MKV file to be converted to AVI, the application will pop up a video player allowing you to view the file either in its native size or in full-screen. It is a minimalist player allowing you to stop or pause the video and nothing else. But these functions are not altogether forgotten as the user can achieve jumping to a desired time by dragging the slider in the main application window. You are also displayed the current playing time and the total duration of the file. However, the downside is that you cannot accurately move to the desired scene by inputting the corresponding time, but have to move the slider by mouse. Trying keyboard arrows will do you no good, as the video will keep playing at normal speed.
Setting the start and end time for defining the video scenes to be converted is achieved by pressing on Start Time and End Time buttons under the drag bar. You will automatically be given the times, but accurately defining one of the values is a tough task as it can be achieved only by dragging the bar with the mouse.
The list of options is brief and easy to configure. Users get to define the location for saving the conversion result, set the resolution (there is a list of presets but you can also customize it yourself), the framerate, resize mode (preserve aspect ratio or stretch), choose the video compressor and configure it for the best output, and the audio compressor.
MKV to AVI Converter brings absolutely no codec, neither for video, nor for audio, and the available list presents only the codecs you have already installed on the system (those that come by default with the operating system and those installed by yourself). Since it is priced at $29.99, I would have expected at least open-source codecs to be available, if not more, or at least guide the user towards downloading locations of recommended ones.
Testing the application was not as smooth as we expected, because there were some files the software labeled as corrupt or there was no appropriate codec installed on the system and could not be processed, although they were played just fine in video players and all codecs were in place. When testing the application on a different computer, it crashed at each attempt during the conversion.
For starting the conversion process you need to keep the video window open, otherwise Convert button will de-activate. Resource usage is pretty high during the conversion process and a middle-end computer may have a really tough time with the operation.
Testing the application on multiple Vista equipped computers (Basic, Business and Home Premium) resulted in many problems with the conversion and crashes. The cases the process was completed successfully were not too many and sometimes the same file would be handled differently on two systems.
The Good
We had some success with converting from MKV to AVI and making all the settings is a cinch. The application permits configuring the video codecs.
The Bad
The application comes with absolutely no video codec and relies on what the user installs on the system. More than this, the user benefits from no direction to download the appropriate codecs for the best result possible.
During our testing there were multiple crashes of the software and some of the MKV files put to the test were not loaded at all, the software giving alerts that either the video is corrupt or the appropriate codec needs to be installed.
The Truth
MKV to AVI Converter proved to be unreliable during the conversion, as throughout our testing it failed to deal with all the files we fed it and constantly crashed. The tests were performed on multiple computers running various editions of Vista.
Even if everything worked as intended, the price would still be a bit too much considering that there is no video codec included in the package and the user has to download them by him/herself.
Here are some snapshots of the application in action:

Went to purchase a soda at a food stand. Was helped by a 19-year-old young lady who took an immediate interest in the camera. Gave her the long story about it. (I also have a short version when appropriate.) She was a photo enthusiast from that other side of the photographic world, but was head-over-heels amazed at this beautiful old handheld bellows camera.
As part of that long story I told her about the sounds and smells of flashbulbs. The tinkling sound of molten metal cracking glass and the sort-of-like-hot-caramel smell of the melted plastic safety coatings. "Take my picture!" she said. So I did, in front of a crowd of very curious onlookers.
Then I immediately moved the reflector lamp up close and said "Smell that? You'll probably never get another chance." As soon as it cooled a bit I said "Hold out your hands" and popped the used flashbulb into them as a souvenir. She was thrilled.
Here's that photograph...

Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but I've created two media categories, one under another, so Test Category -> Test-sub Category.
No matter what I do, when I upload an image, pdf, or anything else, it does not show up in real-time in the media manager. When I turn this plug-in off, it does.
Any ideas why? I think if that part was fixed it would solve the other issues I might be having then this would the perfect tool that I've been looking for.
I've disabled all other plug-ins except for this and the problem persists.
Basically what I'm looking for is to be able to upload and kind of attachment and have it immediately show in the list after it's been uploaded. Maybe if not directly possible, have the main grid refresh when categories are assigned/un-assigned instead of manually having to switch the filter several times for the newly added item to appear(seems buggy too). Maybe an overlay that when a new item is added we set the categories then offer a save button, and the gallery is updated then.

The special election was anything but lengthy, though, at least before the polls closed. The congressional seat was vacated when Gov. David Paterson appointed Kirsten Gillibrand to a vacated Senate seat on Jan. 23, and the parties selected candidates soon thereafter.
Both parties cited their candidates' ability to quickly raise money in their selection criteria.
According to Federal Elections Commission financial disclosures, the two campaigns managed to spend more than $3 million by Election Day. Most of Murphy's $1.8 million and Tedisco's $1.3 million went toward television advertisements.
The election gained national attention when President Obama's $787 billion economic stimulus package became the primary issue. Murphy gained much of his momentum while berating Tedisco for avoiding taking a stance on the bill.
In the wake of Tedisco's concession, Democrats were quick to chalk the election up as a positive referendum on the stimulus and Republicans downplayed the fact Murphy won in the supposed GOP stronghold with a 70,000 Republican voter plurality.
Saratoga County Republican Committee Chairman John "Jasper" Nolan largely chalked up the loss to a high level of support for Obama and the fact Murphy won the Independence Party line, typically where Republican candidates are found.
"One thing we kind of overlooked is we're running in a period of time where Obama has a pretty high rate of likeability," he said. "Also, Gillibrand during her brief career in that Congressional seat, she didn't hit any home runs but she hit enough singles to keep herself on the front page. She didn't leave with any real negativity."
It's time for the GOP to look towards the November elections and continue building support in Saratoga County, said Nolan. Tedisco won the district's most populous county by more than 4,800 votes or by about 54 percent.
Saratoga County Democratic Committee Chairman Larry Bulman said that the strength of Obama's administration"and his direct endorsement of Murphy"played a definite role in the win, but maintained that Dems ran a better coordinated campaign.

GEORGE TOWN: A 26-year-old Myan-mar national accused of abducting and murdering his countryman three years ago has been freed by a High Court here.
Justice Zamani Abdul Rahim acquitted and discharged Moe Kyaw @ Deva without calling for his defence after ruling that the prosecution failed to establish a prima facie case against him on both charges.
Moe Kyaw, a construction worker, was alleged to have abducted Htin Kyaw with the intention of murdering him at a house in Taman Cendana, Juru, Bukit Tengah between 1am on Aug 7 and 8pm on Aug 8, 2011.
Under Section 364 of the Penal Code, abducting to murder is punishable by a death sentence or imprisonment for a term which may be extended to 30 years. If not sentenced to death, the guilty is also liable to whipping.
Moe Kyaw was also alleged to have murdered Htin Kyaw, who was 33 at the time, in the bushes in front of SK Juru in Bukit Tengah at 4.25am on Aug 10, 2011.
The offence under Section 302 of the Penal Code carries the mandatory death sentence upon conviction.
Zamani, in his judgment, said there was no evidence linking Moe Kyaw to either the abduction or the murder.
"There were irregularities in the name of the deceased uttered by the accused during interrogation to the one in the charge sheet.
"Under Section 27 of the Evidence Act, Moe Kyaw's admission (that he killed Htin Kyaw and disposed of him) was inadmissible because the body was not concealed (and was found at a public place accessible to anyone)," he said.
Zamani cited the discovery of a 79cm wooden stick, about 15m from the deceased's body in the secondary jungle, which had the deceased's DNA, and subsequently posed the question of who had inflicted the injuries on the deceased's head and chin.
In addition, he said the accused's DNA was not found on the Rambo knife, which he had pointed out to the police raiding party, on the window ledge of a house.
"There is no evidence to link the Rambo knife to the accused. There was also no DNA profile of the accused in the car despite the presence of bloodstains in it."
Moe Kyaw, who was dressed in a blue chequered shirt and blue jeans, was all smiles as he was led out of the courtroom.

Uma Thurman Looks Different
At the NYC premiere of NBC's The Slap last night, photographers were overhead saying, "Okay, stop playing, who sent this Sphynx cat in Uma Thurman's place," when Uma Thurman showed up not looking like Uma Thurman.
UsWeekly, E! and The Daily Mail all looked at these pictures of Uma and threw the same, "hmmmm…your face doesn't ring a bell," look that North West throws at Kim Kartrashian when she's collected from the nanny for a photo-op. Some think that Uma got the Renee Zellweger Special and Botoxed and pulled her face into a new one. I don't know. Here's a picture from another event on January 28th:
It might just be a case of Uma SANS eyeliner and mascars. Maybe the new equation is: Uma Thurman – mascara – eyeliner + red lipstick + slicked back hair + drawn in brows = the spawn of Anjelica Huston and Tilda Swinton. I haven't seen the reviews for The Slap, so I don't know if they're bad, but maybe she's embarrassed by it and didn't want to show her face at the premiere, so she showed a new one instead.

Thandie Newton Says She Gave Birth To Her Son On The Bathroom Floor
Take comforting in knowing that if you read the words "on the bathroom floor" and immediately started singing Shaggy's "It Wasn't Me", you're not alone. Thandie Newton, star of the most important films of the 21st Century, Norbit (RASPUTIA FOREVER) and also other less significant movies like Crash and Interview with the Vampire, revealed on the Today show Thursday that she gave birth to her son Booker on the bathroom floor of her home. And no, it was nothing like the teen pregnancy horror stories your 9th grade sex-ed teacher would tell you as a way to frighten you into using condoms. She says she birthed all three of her children at home in her bathroom because the idea of pushing out her baby in a hospital surrounded by bedpans and lime jello gave her a case of the NOPES.
"I had just associated hospital with being ill, and I felt beautiful and healthy and wonderful when I was pregnant, and being at home is the place I felt most relaxed and comfortable. So for me, it feels normal, but there was a time when everybody had their babies at home and it wasn't such a big deal."
Essentially, what she's saying is that her bathroom floor is clean enough to birth a baby on. Now cut to my bathroom, where at any given moment a tumbleweed of random hairs held together with dust and tampon wrappers and hairpins is bound to roll over your foot. Forget a human baby, my bathroom floor would be considered unfit for a pregnant rat. And just by saying that, I'm sure I've jinxed myself and there's a large, greasy rat momma pushing out a litter of slimy pink babies on a pile of hair behind my toilet as we speak.

U.S. District Court Allows Claims Brought by Swiss-Based In-House Counsel To Proceed against Altria Group, Inc. and Phillip Morris International,
NEW YORK, Feb. 27 /PRNewswire/ -- Broach & Stulberg, LLP announced today that U.S. District Court Judge Laura Taylor Swain of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York has denied motions to dismiss age discrimination and retaliation claims brought by a Swiss-based former in-house counsel against Altria Group, Inc. (NYSE: MO) and Philip Morris International, Inc. (collectively "Phillip Morris"). The motions sought to dismiss the claims on the ground that the U.S. court lacked subject matter jurisdiction over the allegations brought under the U.S. Age Discrimination in Employment Act ("ADEA").
Applying a recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling to a case claiming extra-territorial application of the federal age discrimination law, the District Judge ruled that "defendants have failed to raise a meritorious issue as to lack of subject matter jurisdiction" pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(1).
The plaintiff, D'Arcy Quinn, a U.S. citizen, has alleged that his
employer in Switzerland was an American corporation or an
American-controlled corporation subject to the ADEA. In their motions,
Altria and PMI both contended that the District Court lacked subject matter
jurisdiction over Mr. Quinn's claims because he was employed by a "foreign"
employer not subject to the ADEA. The District Court rejected the
defendants' motions on the ground that the extra-territorial provisions of
the ADEA do not restrict the Court's subject matter jurisdiction. In so
holding, the Court relied upon the U.S. Supreme Court's 2006 decision

Can someone recommend non toxic cleaner for grout for ceramic floor tiles. Grout is discolored from daily traffic.
Sharon from Ontario, Canada
By sharon
Here are the recent answer to this question.
By lucinda. (Guest Post)10/20/2008
I recolored mine, it was cheaper and easier. lucindap1 AT aol.com
By Heather Australia (Guest Post)10/09/2008
I use straight vinegar - the cheapest you can find. I do one area at a time. I pour the vinegar into the grout, leave it a short time, scrub with a brush then wash that area. Go onto the next area. It bought the grout back to it's original. When completely finished give another good wash and most of the vinegar smell will disappear quickly. It is a bit of work but worth it in the end and no toxic chemicals in your home.

Chris Young returned to the Diamondbacks in style Friday. Activated from the disabled list earlier in the day, Young contributed a two-run double in the D-backs' 6-4 victory at Kansas City in their first interleague game of the season. Young, who suffered a slight tear in a right shoulder ligament when he ran into the fence while making a catch April 17, served as the designated hitter. The D-backs were 7-3 at the time Young got hurt, and he was all over the NL leader boards. Young was second in the NL in home runs (five) and OPS (1.397), third in batting average (.410) and tied for third in RBIs (13) when he went on the DL. The D-backs were 10-18 in his absence, and it is safe to say his return provided a psychological lift. "Absolutely. He has been a big part of this club for seven years. Just his mere presence in the clubhouse is good for the guys. We were playing pretty darn good until he went down," general manager Kevin Towers said. "It's not to say when 'C.Y.' comes bac...

Dude wrote my article on hipsters.*
Douglas Haddow recently did a bit on hipsters entitled Hipster: The Dead End of Western Civilization (via) and concluded:
Hipsterdom is the first "counterculture" to be born under the advertising industry's microscope, leaving it open to constant manipulation but also forcing its participants to continually shift their interests and affiliations. Less a subculture, the hipster is a consumer group – using their capital to purchase empty authenticity and rebellion. But the moment a trend, band, sound, style or feeling gains too much exposure, it is suddenly looked upon with disdain. Hipsters cannot afford to maintain any cultural loyalties or affiliations for fear they will lose relevance.
This underscores what I call "the economic metaphor" which is embodies the Zeitgeist of the West. The practical and popular are our valuables, while the ideal and the good (not necessarily their former's opposites) are worthless not invaluable. Hence, I say, the economic metaphor lacks value. A quip that, in all its recursive glory, only augments the "hipster" aesthetic: the clever is the new smart. We are, largely, a culture of echoes, distorting the new and original with our apt, snarky quotations. (Just look at twitter or any run-of-the-mill link blog and you'll see.) Echoes, like our culture loyalties, fade and we are left looking for the novel or, when nothing new is found, the retro.
I could get all Derridean and niggle about the author's use of "end," but that would only muddy the waters. I will, however, say that it does not so much show the end of West as "turn" towards something unexpected. The 60s–for all its political nostalgia–seems just as vacuous to me, a twenty-something, as now.
*To be clear: I mean he is thinking the same thoughts I am.

Eh, this is the century of the American consumer…everything, but everything needs to be viewed through the lens of commerce, advertising, conspicuous consumption, &c.
That said, there are aspects of the hipster movement that appeal to me. While I'm sure there are adherents for whom it is Very Serious Business, I get a real sense of playfulness in its embrace of anti-beauty, anti-hip, a whole anti-aesthetic. Certainly there are trends, ironic sweaters being replaced by ironic mullets being replaced by ironic mustaches. But an era that gives us ironic mustaches is something special indeed.
Oh, and: the hipster set seems heavily influenced by some very good trends, such as green living, the resurgent crafts movement (see Etsy), bicycle transportation, and a fairly all-encompassing indie music scene. If I need to witness some shaggy hair and neonuglyshoes, it's a fair price to pay.
Andrew Simone on
July 31st, 2008 at 1:45 pm
Oh, I don't really mean to decry all of hipsterdom any more than I would honestly deny being a "wittle hipster." I do disdain the NYC hipsterism in nearly all its forms Heck, I largely disdain NYC (it smells like piss in the summer). It's just that I see problems in art and culture which stem from the same roots as the ironic mustache.
What I am getting at, however obliquely, is I have been thinking about these things for some time and this article reminded me of not a few ideas I had a year or so ago and, even, pulled somethings together I hadn't thought of. I have spent too many hours trying to parse this out with friends over beers (heaven help me, it was Pabst because it was cheap and I was in school and poor) and discussing over-consciousness and this culture of echoes to let this little screed pass me by.
I'm just relieving pressure.

Yes, Sheila, exactly.
Sheila Ryan on
July 31st, 2008 at 2:15 pm
Andrew does have a thick skin. I learned that lesson a good while back. Resulting in my thinking twice before blurting out one of my too-clever-by-half remarks — all on account of his measured response. Funny how that works.
(Not to equate "wittle hipster," Amanda, with the remarks I let fly. Believe me.)
Oh, and Andrew — thought so.
Adam M. on
July 31st, 2008 at 2:28 pm
I don't understand the love/hate relationship that society has with hipsters. Why is it offensive to be called out as a hipster? Is it because of the connotations attached to the word?
The author's claim that this generation is the lost generation is the same claim that every generation for the last century has made. I think we say this because we aren't at the proper place to examine what's going on. Its only after a movement has ended that people are able to take stock of it.
Mike D. on
July 31st, 2008 at 9:48 pm
I feel you, Andrew. At the root of his argument is the question, what is authentic? Certainly not this movement, any more than any past trend. He's seen the greatest minds of his generation destroyed by…American Apparel v-necks and electro indie-pop. Tant pis.

a general shift towards away from Jock culture towards the arts, music, fashion?? A set of cultures that support vintage clothing, riding bicycles, and garage sales?????
sorry, what are we complaining about here again?
Andrew Simone on
August 1st, 2008 at 3:26 pm
Commodification somehow becoming synonymous with authenticity. And the arts, music, and fashion becoming synonymous with commodification. Warhol really started it. And I have very mixed feeling about Warhol.
I suppose some would call this niggling but I think this has a significant impact on perception, knowing, and human relationships.

SAN DIEGO, Oct. 8 /PRNewswire/ -- Adnavance Technologies Inc., a developer of direct detection molecular diagnostic tests for medical applications, announced today that Randy White, Ph.D. chief executive officer, will present initial data supporting direct detection of DNA targets in human clinical samples during company presentations at the following conferences:
"The hallmark of Adnavance's direct detection technology is its simplicity; it doesn't require PCR, light detection, or sample pre-treatment. We are highly encouraged by our initial data supporting the utility of our technology and its potential for use in medium complexity laboratories," said Dr. White. "Our mission is to de-centralize molecular diagnostics."
About Adnavance Technologies Inc.
Adnavance is a molecular diagnostic company focused on development of its proprietary technology that allows direct-detection of DNA targets in human clinical samples. The Company is located in San Diego, CA. The Company's patented technology is based on the change in surface charge on a gold electrode when DNA targets hybridize with capture probes anchored to the electrode surface. The Company uses a microarray of electrodes in an electrochemical cell to detect the target DNA and the inherent ultra-sensitivity of electrochemical measurements obviates the need for target amplification used in current molecular-based tests. In addition, the electrochemical measurement simplifies the medical device and eliminates sample pre-treatment steps required for PCR-based tests. Adnavance scientists were the first to discover the surface charge phenomenon, and the Company

The special, also featuring singer John Mayer, will give the public a look at the powerful affects that war can have on a family and the strength it takes to make it through a military deployment.
You and your kids can see the Queen make her royal visit together because "Coming Home: Military Families Cope With Change" airs at 8 p.m. EST on April 1 on PBS.

text: Al-Qaeda, Baath party spread terror in Iraq: Analyst HomeMiddle EastIraq Wed Apr 17, 2013 5:37PM Loading ... Remnants of Iraq's Baath party, loyal to former dictator Saddam Hussein, are making a strategic alliance with al-Qaeda militants to spread terror in the country, an analyst tells Press TV. "The remnants of the Baath party and the remnants of the former regime, the Saddamists, are taking advantage of al-Qaeda and making a strategic alliance with al-Qaeda to spread terror in the country," political analyst, Intifad Qanbar said in an interview with on Wednesday. The analyst noted that the two groups are using terror tactics to intimidate the people in light of the upcoming provincial elections in the country. "These [terrorist] attacks are cowardly attacks that are not going to stop the people from practicing their freedom and their rights of choosing their representatives in the coming provincial elections and the Iraqi people are used to it," he added. Qanbar pointed to al-Qaeda alliance with foreign-backed militants fighting against the government of Bashar al-Assad in Syria, saying "some Arab countries who are helping this terrorism to flourish in Iraq and in Syria," must be stopped quickly as they aim to create mayhem and sectarian division in the region. On Monday, more than 55 people were killed and almost 200 others were injured in a spate of bomb attacks across Iraq. The bombings were the latest in a string of attacks that have left scores of people dead across Iraq this year. Iraq is preparing for its first elections in three years. The provincial polls are due to be held in 12 of Iraq's 18 provinces on April 20. PG/HGH/SL

Prep boys' tennis: Viewmont, Mountain View repeat as 5A, 4A champs
The Viewmont Vikings were queued up just outside the gate of Sam Tullis' last high school match. Fighting to remain silent as Tullis battled through match point with Riverton's Ty Burke, they erupted in celebration as Tullis watched Burke's shot fall out of bounds.
After waiting for Tullis to shake Burke's hand at midcourt, they stormed the court when the three-time singles champion launched a ball towards the sky and screamed, "Let's go!"
The new juggernaut in Class 5A boys' tennis gang-tackled Tullis. After the Vikings completed a repeat as state champions, Tullis said he wanted the team win more than a personal title.
"I've done both, and a team victory is five times better," Tullis said. "It is so much better to take it as a team."
Junior Jake Tullis defeated Keaton Mathis of Lehi, 6-0, 6-2 in 2nd singles. He celebrated his brother's third consecutive title but recognized that now he'll have to work throughout the summer to fill Sam's shoes.
"It's going to be sad to see him leave; he's done so much for this program," Jake Tullis said. "But now I gotta play first, and there's a lot of work ahead."
Freshman Jared Mansell of Brighton downed Jack Taylor for 3rd singles. Teammates Cheyenne Perry and Mitchell Mansell won 1st doubles with McKay Bruse and Braydon Barlow of Davis taking 2nd doubles.
In Class 4A, Mountain View's Jon Dollahite locked horns with Olympus' Caleb Brand in the 1st singles final. With marathon rallies and a good-natured camaraderie on the court, Dollahite's overpowering service and pinpoint accuracy proved to be the difference-maker. The sophomore credited his opponent for an excellent match for his first state title.
"He's a great player and good friend. It's always a pleasure to play him," Dollahite said. "We know each other's game pretty well. Today it was just a matter of who could execute better."
With teammate Manuel Ortiz winning 2nd singles, Mountain View was able to repeat as state 4A state champions. Dollahite said that securing a team title was just as important as individual accomplishments.
"Everybody works so hard, driving each other," Dollahite said. "You have to work together to help improve everyone's game. It's great getting a team title."
O It's a family affair as Sam and Jake Tullis of Viewmont win 1st and 2nd singles. The Vikings repeat as 5A state champions.
• Riverton's Ty Burke and Sam Tullis, who used to be doubles partners, face off in the 5A 1st singles championship.
• Sophomore Jon Dollahite of Mountain View defeats Caleb Brand in the 4A 1st singles, 6-1, 6-4.
