Demux MKV and re-mux to MP4 question

[strider01]

Hi there,

I have a quick question... I have an MKV file (x264 video & eac3 audio) that I wish to re-mux into an mp4 container so I can play on a standalone player (none support mkv). Firstly, I was wondering how I go about demuxing the mkv and then re-muxing to mp4. Also, from my understanding, the mp4 container does not allow for ac3 audio (presumably this also applies to eac3?), and therefore is there anyway i can convert the audio stream to aac, preserving the 5.1 surround?

Thanks!

MKVExtract is your demuxer, and YAMB is your muxer for MP4.

For the AAC audio issue... well, that's one of the main reasons people use MKV.

doesn't take YAMB mkv as input?

for the audio, I would suggest you to encode the eac3 stream with foobar2000 and the Nero Encoder to aac, so can you maintain a good quality.
