Quick conversion question for AMV/Source material

[Shui]

If the mkv has a h.264 encoded videostream you can easily extract it with mkvtoolnix and remux it with mp4box without converting it.

If the mkv has a h.264 encoded videostream you can easily extract it with mkvtoolnix and remux it with mp4box without converting it.

One of the reasons I said ffmpeg earlier was because you can skip mkvextract and just remux directly:

Code: Select all

ffmpeg -i input.mkv -vcodec copy -acodec copy output.mp4

It's also invaluable for doing conversions to MJPEG and lossless formats (ffvhuff and FFV1) in prep for editing. And when paired with bash or cmd.exe scripting, is far faster than messing with all of this through VDub.

as if that'd be practical for somebody not adept with videocontainers or codecs - no man keep your elitist ffmpeg commandlines away
it's enough for me to know how to convert to utvideo with vdub and avisynth
