I swear, MKV's have got to be the hardest things to convert...

[えっちーせんぱい]

You need to run the darn things through at least 2 conversion processes, and then a third if you want to put it on something.

Why? >_>

I totally know what you're talking about. 

Totally.  Yup.

Totally.  Yup. 

Sure..
Downloading a MKV and getting it converted into an AVI that's in the wrong ratio and having to convert it to another AVI in the right one seems simple enough, right?

My limited knowledge wields the following reply: AVI = movie file... you're converting files you're downloading... never heard of MKV...

Apparently you answered your own question.  The first conversion results in a bad ratio that needs to be fixed by another conversion.. followed by another if you'd like to place it on a portable device with limited reading capabilities... so that's why you may need 3...

You said it yourself.. hehe..

amirite?

Anyways.. uh-huh?  Not really sure what to say. >_>

I'm just annoyed I can't find one that does it correctly in one go.

[Redpaige13]

I think my brain jus died.. Dx

[THEEVILSPERKY]

I wouldn't even think doing a second AVI conversion to correct a bad ratio.

I sound like I know what I'm talking about I suppose but I really don't.  What exactly is a bad ratio?  Audio and video not matching up?  I don't understand how converting an AVI to AVI would fix that.. I think the process would be instantaneous since it was already AVI.  What do I know though. >_>

Not computer-savvy here. ~_^;

Uhh..

The first conversion is for getting it out of mkv to avi, but if the mkv was 16:9, it always gets squished into 4:3 for some stupid ass reason, so I'd have to do another to get it back to 16:9. From mkv to avi takes forever though.

[THEEVILSPERKY]

That is really strange.. huh.  I don't know what to make of that..

Neither do I. I'm just doing a bunch of test conversions on The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya's special ending and seeing what comes out of it using different filtype conversions..

[THEEVILSPERKY]

Good luck!  I think you'll figure something out.

[Syncopathic]

I've never used MKVs myself... I usually download the file that has the subs, why are you doing this?

[Super]

Lesson learned: Never use random-ass movie filetypes.

I was looking for a DVD rip.

It's not random, just hard to work with. Really hard to work with.
