Given that MKV is a wrapper with which one must contend, I need to contend with it, for my work, and for information generally.
Having just read the forum posting:
http://forums.macnn.com/82/applicati...-on-mkv-files/
I especially support what mcduell suggests.
But on to the problem at hand —
There is an application that seem to do a thorough and extraordinary job of extracting, or unwrapping, matroska files. For example, almost instantaneously it produced individual components of a 700MB mkv file into components consisting of:
audio2.aac
audio3.aac
audio4.aac
(Title of video production).-.Cover.jpg
(Title of video production).[-=TnT=-].-.DVD.jpg
(Title of video production).[-=TnT=-].nfo
list chapters.txt
list chapters.xml
subtitles5.idx
subtitles5.sub
subtitles6.idx
subtitles6.sub
subtitles7.srt
video1.h264
The application used was iMkvExtract, the functionality of which I’d been seeking for months.
But now, these parts must be reassembled into an AVI file, Xvid or DivX, which can be played on, for example a Philips 5140 DVD player.
New to dealing with codecs, and unable to yet find a plain-speak tutorial, will some kind person please direct me to such?

ps: by the way, I’d like to have searched the forum more thoroughly for answers to my question, but have little success with this forum’s SEARCH funcion. It keeps throwing me over to advanced search. Googling the search criteria, along with macnn is my only current solution. This has been the case especially since upgrading from OS 10.3.9, one an AGP450, the other this Early 2008, running Tiger and Leopard respectively. Neither checking the FAQ, nor futiley emailing macnn support have provided a clue. And no relavent ports seem to be blocked by Little Snitch.
