Guide

With it's great compression rate, the mkv format is great for providing high quality video with low file sizes. With all things though, it takes time for formats to become universally compatible and this is one of those cases. So in order to increase compatibility, it is wise to convert mkv to avi since avi files are universally compatible. Converting these types of files is possible using the Aimersoft Video Converter.

Once installed, the program loads up quite quickly and has a great and functional layout. Instructions on where to begin are displayed directly in front of the user so there is no doubt what the next steps are. "Add Files" is located near the top and is easy to spot even before reading the directions. After the button is clicked, a browser opens up so that files may be added. For selecting more than one file to bring into the converter, holding down either the shift button or the "CTRL" button will work.

Locating the proper format is easy inside of the profile section. Sometimes with large amounts of files, each video needs different settings. There is a box on the side that is checked by default called "Apply to All" if this is unchecked and each file is independently selected, different settings can be applied.

Upon click the profile section, a list of different formats comes up. Not only are they sorted by device but also each category has specific models with descriptions of each format. Inside of the "Common Video" selection, AVI is available to select.

Clicking AVI will bring the user back to the video list. In the list there is an area labeled "Estimated Size" and it displays the file size the video will most likely be after conversion. Seeing the likely file size is good for establishing if the right file type has been chosen and where the best place to save the file may be. Underneath the profile box there is the output box, which can be changed to reflect where the user wants to save the file.

Sometimes videos need specific settings changed and this can be done through the settings window by clicking the button near the profiles box. Options such as the resolution, encoder and even the frame rate may be altered from here. With AVI files there is only one encoder to use, same with the audio encoder. Once the proper settings have been adjusted, clicking OK will close the window.

In order to ensure that the file is saved to the correct directory, check the output path and adjust if necessary. Once all of the files in the list have been checked for settings, click start to begin. Sometimes the process may take awhile, and for that reason there is an option to shut the computer down after the conversions are complete.

The final video has minor quality loss which may be fixed through further settings adjustment. When it is necessary to convert mkv to avi, Aimersoft Video Converter is a great and easy to use program that gets the job done well.
