MKVtools (formerly MoKgVm2DVD) 2.1


An useful set of tools needed to prepare OGM and MKV files for use in DivX enabled DVD players
MoKgVm2DVD is a useful tool that provides the tools needed to prepare OGM and MKV files for use in DivX enabled DVD players.

These players typically require videos to be in AVI container files (i.e., have .avi extensions) using any of the following codecs:
Video: mpeg4 (e.g., Divx or Xvid) but not h.264
Audio: ac3 or mp3 but not aac or ogg/vorbis

MoKgVm2DVD will let you select the tracks from the MKV or OGM file and either copy the tracks to the new .avi file or, if needed, re-encode the track(s) using the XviD codec. You can also extract any of the tracks into separate files.

Most players can also handle separate subtitle files. Typically the subtitle file must have the same name as the .avi file.


Main features of MKVtools (formerly MoKgVm2DVD):

  • Convert MKV and OGM videos to .avi files.
  • Intuitive track selection with the ability to verify the selections using video preview.
  • Can either pass-through the selected video track (fast) or re-encode the track using either a 1 or 2 pass XviD codec.
  • Can either pass-through the selected audio track or re-encode the track using the mp3 codec.
  • Embed the selected subtitle track (i.e., hard subtitles) into the new file though this requires that the video track must be re-encoded.
  • Control the font, size and positioning of the embeded subtitles.
  • Create a user-definable test clip to check settings.
  • Extract the selected tracks as individual video, audio and/or subtitle files.
  • Add jobs to a queue either individually or in batches


    Limitations of MKVtools (formerly MoKgVm2DVD):

  • A "nag" window will appear every time you start a job.
  • You may only run 1 job at a time.

    What's New in This Release:

  • Can now mux tracks/files into .mp4 files.
  • Can now split mkv files and join mp4 files which may prove useful for processing very large mkv files.
  • Added the abiltiy to delete tracks from mkv files and change the pixel aspect ratio of mp4 videos.
  • Improved video information gathering and checking.
  • Improved muxing speed.
  • Added pass thru video for mp4 conversions.
  • Will change the avc level of passed thru h264 videos to 4.1 which may trick your device into playing the video without the need to re-encode.
  • Added presets for Apple TV, PS3 and Xbox 360.
