Converting .mkv to .avi for xbox

[mike171562]

Here is a simple script that will convert mkv files to avi's that will play on the xbox 360. The guts of it came from undershot
here  http://forums.sabnzbd.org/index.php?topic=1929.0   I'm using twonkyserver to stream to the xbox on an Ubuntu box. The mencoder line needs to be straightened out before you use it, it was too long to fit in this box.

#!/bin/sh


FOLDER_PATH="$1"
cd "$FOLDER_PATH"
FOLDER_NAME=`echo $FOLDER_PATH | awk -F [/] '{print $NF}'`
echo "\n\nChecking for .mkv file..."
if [ -e *.mkv ]
 then
   echo "\n\n mkv file found..Processing"
   mencoder *.mkv -ovc xvid -xvidencopts pass=1 -af resample=44100:0:2 -srate 44100 -oac mp3lame -lameopts   cbr:br=128:aq=4:vol=1.1:mode=1 -o $FOLDER_NAME.avi
   rm *.mkv
   rm*.log
 else
   echo "\n\n\tNo .mkv file found"
fi
echo "\n\n...Processing Complete!"

could your right a script that just passes the .mkv through changes just the container?    ie if you download somethin in x.264  passthough to mp4 ?
