Hi. I'm new at this so please excuse my naivety. I have several mkv files ranging from 60,000 Kb to 710,000 Kb which I would like to convert to avi format so that I may watch them. However, when I do convert them they do not come out as intended. First, the file size is significantly smaller. Second, the track length of the video is reduced. A file with a length of over an hour is reduced down to only eight minutes. Third, the audio track is out of sync. I don't know about sound effects but speech is lagging behind the video at least five seconds. The selected output container is avi, output video codec is H.264/AVC, and the output audio codec is mp3.
