Matroska to Mov

[Jastr]

Hi all,

Is it possible to extract the video and sound from a matroska file and pack it into a .mov file without transcoding the file? like the passthrough function in quicktime? The reason for this is i have a mkv file with h.264 and aac sound packed in a matroska container since quicktime should be able to play h.264 and aac i would like to make it a mov file without using hours in conversion.

Quicktime's support for h264 is limited, so that file probably needs the video reencoded anyway.

why do you want to go back to mov?
mkv is a LOT better container for ANY codec, and its crossplaform supported to you might want to check mplayer out on mac if you use mac

I think VLC has a MOV muxer and should allow you to remux your Matroska file to MOV without reencoding.

FFmpeg also is able to do that...:)

FFmpeg also is able to do that...:)yes,

you need to take care tough about how the aac stream is muxed. you can mux it in the mov way and in the mp4 way, which are different (thanks to apple). i dunno which one ffmpeg is using
