Convert Format: video MKV to FLAC audio
« on: October 24, 2016, 10:35:03 am »

I am looking for ways to extract audio (FLAC) from MKV files. I own a large collection of Music Videos (on blu ray and DVD). The Convert Format option of JRIver has many options but not one converting MKV to FLAC audio. Any suggestions?

P.S. I own DVDAE and used it in the past but found is very user unfriendly and the disc needs to be unlocked first.

After you select a video and choose "convert format", you'll get a little dialog box at the lower left.  You can choose formats there.  There's a check box there that I never noticed until someone pointed it out:  convert video to audio.  Check that box and all of the conversion selections will change.  Now you can select FLAC.  :)

Depending on your MKV files, you might need to use Particles to create a JRiver database entry for each song. The wiki has information on how to do this. Chapterfy makes the process extremely simple and quick.

Edit:  I just realized I posted in the Mac forum. I think Chapterfy is only for Windows.
