Anyone who has any recomendation for a program to download youtube videos and convert them to matroska files?

Google spams a lot of results, but I suspect theres a lot of trojans out there...

Matroska files are usualy named .mkv

[TradeMark]

why .mkv?

ive used https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefo ... oadhelper/ and found it very powerful

[Satirik]

download the flv with something (keepvid, orbit downloader ...)

and convert it with

FFmpeg -i myfile.flv -vcodec copy -acodec copy output.mkv

[TradeMark]

flv has crappy quality... dl the .mp4

Matroska is my favorite format. I like to pretend .MKv stands for something else. :3
Ugh, such a narcissist!

"Matroska file types are .MKV for video (with subtitles and audio), .MKA for audio-only files and .MKS for subtitles only."

"Q: What file extensions does Matroska use?
A: We currently have 3 different extensions specified :
- .mkv : Used for Video files, as well those containing audio ( movies ) or video only"

Hmm... what would mkv stand for then?

MKV files make me angry because I can't play them on my PS3.

Shouldn't you be angry at your playstation?

DownloadHelper Firefox extension, then Handbrake. Pretty sure DownloadHelper itself has a built-in convert function but I wouldn't trust it with anything you actually want to archive or something.

I have a baseline hatred for Sony that is so fundamental to my self-image that I often fail to take it into account... it's too bad they happen to have made the best combination blu-ray/gaming/internet/media player on the market... grumble... (actually, the problem with the MKVs is me being unable to install a working transcoder for it on my linux based media-server... which is my fault, which is why I'm mad at the format and not Sony in this case)

[Caydr]

lol, it's Linux, surely it works just as well as Windows

[Machete234]

What you really mean is probably H.264 in a matroska container

The codec is pretty good but I cant watch it on my PAL tv + xvid dvdplayer.

[Caydr]

xvid dvdplayer.

Well there's your problem right there.
