[QUOTE="Felix26591, post: 1071564, member: 146909"] I know this is an old topic, but had a hard time looking for answers as well, and finally decided to do it myself. It's a small bash code, you place it in the main directory where you have all ur subdirectories and run it with MKVmerge installed, you can change any video filetype into an MKV just by changing the file extension in the find command, and changing the output to the filetype (or simply copy and paste code multiple times with different filetypes). Here's the bash code: find -type f -name '*.avi' | { while read filename ; do mkvmerge -o "./${filename%.avi}.mkv" "$filename" done } That's it and if u are using linux to automatically delete all the files with the unwanted extension just run this bash script : find . -name "*.avi" -exec rm -rf {} \; [/QUOTE]
