I'll check those two out, thank you. I've heard of IMToo, so I hope it works. And a watermark is essentially like a logo on a TV channel, only to make you prefer paid versions of programs, they stick giant, distracting see-through watermarks across the video once it's converted.

Hold a new bill up to the light. In the lower right corner on the front, you'll see an image of the president; that's a watermark.

I'm not too sure what you mean, but the mkv is an AAC to the best of my knowledge; it's an iPod format. I want it in AVI so I can eventually burn it to ISO for DVDs.
