I think there are converters that do it for you automatically. I can look into it if you want.

Re: Yang Clan. It all ends with a final battle during which the Yangs are betrayed. Well, Peter Ho's character is badly wounded during the final battle and captured by the enemies. Enemy princess falls for him, but he's obviusly not interested in hooking up with the princess of people who killed (a large chunk of) his family, plus he has an OTP he loves who is waiting at home for him. He just basically wants to be executed, after killing as many of the enemy as he can get his hands on. So princess makes a deal with her Mom, the evil queen, who would be happy to have him executed. Evil queen does some "only in wuxia" medical treatment which results in him losing all his memories so now he doesn't know he's a Yang or that these people are his worst enemies who killed his siblings and father or that he has a loved wife at home. So he marries Princess Rohypnol and joins the bad guys. Everyone in his family who's still alive, including his grieving wife, believe he's dead. The end because this is where the drama's narrative arc stops even though the Yang legend goes on and the widows all become warriors to replace the fallen men of their clan (and, actually, in the real legend, his character eventually, decades later, got his memory back and reunited with his family and wife, but I don't think that ended well, ultimately, after a brief bit of happiness).

Hu Ge's character, who's my favorite, does get to live and have his OTP (though obviously he's scarred for life by family deaths). Seventh brother dies in battle (and so do Papa Yang, brothers 1, 2 and 3). Fifth brother feels so guilty he could not save them, he becomes a monk. Mama Yang, Eighth sis, and the brothers' widows plus Six and his wife, become generals to replace the fallen, which is where the legend continues but the drama stops.
