Then you have to find out which tracks contains the audio and video.
Run:
$ mkvinfo Heroes_S02E11_720p.mkv<BR /><DIV>
Check out the printout to find the tracks.</DIV>
<BR /><DIV>
(in my mkv file video is on track1 and audio is on track 2. Change the numbers to fit you mkv file)</DIV>
Then demux the mkvfile by running:<BR /><DIV>
$ mkvextract tracks 1:video.h264 2:audio.ac3</DIV>
Next to do is to change one byte inside the video.h264.
$ hexedit video.h264
On the first line you should see this number combination:
"67 64 00 33"
change this to:
"67 64 00 29"<BR /><DIV>
press ctrl-s to save and ctrl-z to exit</DIV>
Then you need to convert audio to aac format.
$ mkfifo audiodump.wav
$ neroAacEnc -ignorelength -q 0.20 -if audiodump.wav -of audio.m4a & mplayer audio.ac3 -vc null -vo null -ao pcm:fast<BR /><DIV>
This may take a couple of minutes.</DIV>
The only thing left is to mux the video and audio file:<BR /><DIV>
$ MP4Box -add video.h264 -add audio.m4a Heroes_S02E11.mp4</DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-548547.html"> sudo apt.-get install mkvtoolnix gpac hexedit mplayer</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-548547.html">
