This subject has been already discussed, but I have not found a satisfactory solution within -> http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=102064

After 4 years is there a better solution?

In case you need a sample, it's the NASA Apollo 11 footage here -> http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/hd/apollo11.html.

I think Yamb 2.* is what you're looking for.
It demuxes the NASA streams to h264 and aac or mp4.

Without a hack: Look at the left frame: Downloads: Downloadable versions...
There's a link :o

Thx...

Although rack and Taurus have already answered: yes, mp4box seems to work just fine on these files. Same goes for ffmpeg (or at least Rhoozuo's build).

Hi!

The previously offered suggestion to use Quicktime Pro is a correct solution (Unless of course you are anti-Apple and/or anti-payware)...

I said, see below, that the solution is not satisfactory.
I'm not against payware, I'm against bloatware and I don't think it's a really good idea to buy'n'install a software for an one-time-job. Especially when a freeware or a decent smallware already exist. My last encounter with QTPro was some 6 years ago, my Kodak camera shoots movies in .MOV format+container, only qtpro could use them without any asynch. I sweared since not to touch such a file, yet I want to convert these files to compare them with my ARTE HD footage (720p50).

Concerning Apple, oh yeah, it's a closed system and that excludes it automatically from my choices.

Thank you for the answers I'll have a look on YAMB + MP4box.


Meanwhile, as a temporary test (I don't have my video PC until the weekend) I managed to remux the .MOV into a .TS file with VLC 0.8.6i (I know it's old but I have it and it works). The results seem to be ok.

You might also try mp4v2 (http://code.google.com/p/mp4v2/).
