Anyone try this pavtube for converting MKVs???

[lindmar]

It's been about 6 months since I converted an MKVs to AppleTV but I have a HD one I want to convert.

I did a Google Search for "converting MKV to AppleTV" which gave me a lot of the old info I knew...

So I tacked December 2009 onto my search and found a bunch of references to this

Wonder if anyone has tried it or knows anything about it?

I am looking for the quickest, easiest, best way to convert HD MKVS to AppleTV ready files.

Thanks

Why not just use Handbrake?

Why not just use Handbrake?

I'm just asking if this is any better. Handbrake was always flaky for me and I've constantly used VisualHub.

Just seeing whats new in the world of getting MKV's ready..

Also if the video in the MKV is X264. Do I need to convert or just remux?

Will Handbrake automatically passthrough video it doesnt need to convert.

Hi guys!
My pleasure to give you my suggestions.
I used it, rip mkv to my PS3, worked fine!
choose H.264 + AAC as video + audio codec,
I prefer Pavtube one because of its fast conversion speed and its pretty good output video and audio whcih satisfy me.It is said that this software applies unique audio and video sync technology which can guarantee the audio and video match.
I hope it will be of great help for you

Think your thread got spammed...

I would recommend you give the latest version Handbrake another try. I have never had any issues with it that wasn't caused by a poorly encoded MKV.

Transcoding may take a while, but the quality is unmatched, you can pass-through 5.1 AC3 audio, and your file is certain to work on your ATV.

Oh, and it's free.

Pavetube hasn't worked at all for me.
