Hello,
There are certain files that my TV doesn't read, the MKV ones and those that have the AC3 audio format and Dolby 2 I think. Is there something I can do about that? Because I've tried converting MKV to AVI and that works, but when it comes to the audio format, I don't know what to do, knowing that by converting MKV to AVI I already lose quality...
Thank you

Hello,
Can you indicate the method (software) you use to modify your files?
How do you read your file: directly on the television with an external device like a USB flash drive, or through a device like a standalone DVD player?
MKV files often contain a video stream in H264/AVC and an audio stream in AAC or AC3 (Dolby Digital) for example. They are often associated with HD movies, but not always.
However, it is surprising that your TV does not read AC3 since this audio codec is often found in commercial DVD videos.
I will assume that your television accepts AVI files made with the XviD or DivX video codec and the MP3 audio codec.
To convert your file while trying to limit visual loss, you should base it on the video bitrate expressed in Kbps and approximate that value in the software used.
For audio, it’s a bit secondary, but try to keep only the frequency (44.1 kHz or 48 kHz), and for the bitrate, choose 128 or 192 at most, preferably.
Afterwards, it might be necessary to fine-tune the settings according to the image dimensions, but we won’t make it too complicated...
Ideally, your television should support MP4 (USB port?), as in this case, a simple conversion from MKV to MP4 while keeping the video stream and changing the audio if necessary could be sufficient.
You can use software like XMedia Recode, Freemake Video Converter, Format Factory, or Avidemux (preferably take version 2.5.6 from Sourceforge) to perform this operation.
For example, for a 1h30 video, to obtain a 700 MB movie, in DivX/XviD, you set about 950 Kbps for the video with audio in MP3 at 128 Kbps.
If the output is too poor, then increase the video bitrate.
Personally, I usually set it to around 1500 Kbps and sometimes more, but that generates large files.
If you want, use MediaInfo to indicate the audio and video codecs (streams), the video and audio bitrate expressed in Kbps, as well as the resolution (image dimensions) of your file.
Best regards
