.h264 to avi conversion

[bobb121_1999]

I demuxed my mkv file and have a usable audio file but not video. I would like to encode the .h264 file int a .mp4 with audio as my final solution. Help is appreciated. If possoble I would like to resize for playback on the iphone

To reencode h.264 is a lengthy process. Your better off starting with your original. As far as getting the audio & video into an MP4 container, MP4Box with the Yamb gui should do what you need.

bobb121_1999, what exactly do you want to do?
Your topic title goes ".h264 to avi conversion", but then you say "I would like to encode the .h264 file into a .mp4" :confused:

If you have a "raw" h.264 stream (e.g. demuxed from MKV), you can mux that into an AVI or MP4 container without re-encoding it.
And you can mux the audio stream along with the video stream into the container of your choice. AVI is more limited with the supported audio formats though.

Google for MP4Box/YAMB or AVC2AVI ...

I was wanting to convert to mp4 for iphone playback, and avi for pc playback. The iphone is for a demo to demonstrate the difference between xvid and h264 that is present in blue ray.

Thanks for all the help.

avi for pc playback? you can play h.264 in mp4 just as easily as in avi on pc - you have to install a decoder either way.

I would also be interested in suggestions as to how best convert h.264 files - I'm often getting clients who supply mkv's and the like and want DVDs made, or the H.264 needs to be re-encoded to make it HD DVD / Blu-ray compliant. I know it's far from ideal, but sometimes it's the best we can get at short notice.

At present I use a Graphedit .grf to feed a AVISynth script via a DirectShow line, and into Procoder 3, but I understand that DirectShow does offer a stable, repeatable result?

Not sure, it always works well enough for me.
