Converted MKV to MP4, but lost audio.

[yhack]

Hi,

I just converted an MKV movie file to MP4 so it would work on my PS3, but it lost the audio in the process, is there a way to get the audio from the first file and add it to the second one without having to wait another hour?

Thanks,

It shouldn't take that long to convert a MKV into a suitable format for playback on the PS3.

I normally run a non-compression pass through in MKV Merge followed by a remux in MKV2VOB. All in all that should take roughly a minute or so. Should be much quicker than trying to extract out the audio from your original MKV and force it into your mp4 file.

Let me know if you'd like a step by step guide to follow.

Ah I found a way to do it similar to the way you said, at first I just decided to convert it to mp4 because I knew an mp4 would run on the ps3.

Watched Inception for the second time, it's such a good movie
