![]() To remux your MKV's to iOS-compliant MP4 (M4V / MOV) files is all you need to do (assume you use 2.6) isġ, loading the MKV file into the app ( File > Open or the first icon on the top left)Ģ, if the original file has an AC3 or DTS audio track (as is the case with most Blue Ray disc rips), set the drop-down list of the “ Audio ouput” fieldset to “ AAC (Faac)” (you won't want to use the other AAC option, lav: the audio will be somewhat distorted). Version 2.6 is the only app to do this properly (in addition to Project-X), as is also explained HERE. This is of little interest to MKV users however, if you should want to convert DVB TS files, this will become very important. The major difference (in addition to the minor ones like the above-mentioned support for multiple audio tracks) between versions 2.5.x and 2.6 is that the latter uses a completely different approach to frame synchronization. (Nevertheless, the Windows 2.6 nightly binaries, available HERE, run nicely under Parallels (tested under Win XP). In the later case, you'll need to install 2.6, which may become a nightmare for a lot of OS X users ( dedicated thread HERE's a tutorial on compiling it for OS X). Basically, version 2.5.5 (the current version for Mac OS X with an existing binary installer) will suffice unless you want to keep multiple audio tracks. This is an excellent app ( homepage) unless you want to keep subs – they're completely ignored. You can still safely use it for H.264 level setting or track addition / deletion without Perian.Īs usual, this article contains a lot of mini-tutorials of the most recommended remuxing apps. Nevertheless, when it comes to Subler, the "only" problem is the lack of audio conversion support. Start with THIS and THIS article make sure you follow the links in them. Note that, should you want to stick with MKV files, you'll want to read my recent reviews of major iOS multimedia players capable of remuxing MKV files on-the-fly. As usual, click the thumbnail for the original, much better one.) (the error message you'll get when trying to convert DTS or AC3 audio tracks with Subler without Perian a screeshot taken on Mountain Lion. Now that Perian (on which Subler, along with some other tools, is dependent) is no longer developed ( dedicated article) and the current version isn't fully compatible with the latest OS X version (Mountain Lion), I've decided to review the latest version of MKV remuxing-capable apps on Mac, all running on Mountain Lion, without Perian installed. In Part I of this series, I've recommended Subler. Make sure you read the tutorial - after all, Subler is still the best(!!) remuxer available for OS X! UPDATE (): in Part III of this article series, I've explained how Perian and a ML-compatible AC3 decoder can be installed on Mountain Lion, making it possible to use Subler. ![]()
