Hi,

What's a good way to copy the streams in an MOV container to another container, like AVI for example (without any decoding/re-encoding)? An example would be a MOV container with mjpg from a digital camera into an AVI container.

Thanks in advance,

If it's MOV file with M-JPEG wideo and PCM audio...

MPEG Streamclip
Save As... with change file type to AVI

or

FFmpeg
ffmpeg.exe -i name_file.mov -vcodec copy -vtag MJPG -acodec copy name_file.avi

and Avidemux (however, at this moment possible some problems)
