Any idea what software I should use to do that (I'm under KDE) ? mkv and avi are both video container. You should be able to quickly "change" the container with mencoder (part of MPlayer): mencoder video.mkv -ovc copy -oac copy -o video.avi well MPlayer must be compiled with mastroka support, and the result may be "weird" if the .mkv use many audio channels etc. It may be a better option to extract both video and audio part and remux them. Look at multimedia/mkvtoolnix, transcode and/or mencoder. Marc
