Batch remux MOVs into MP4s?

[um3k]

Is this doable? I'm going insane trying to figure it out. I prefer a GUI, but I'd do command line if someone could walk me through it. Windows XP.

try mp4box:

mp4box -add myclip.mov -new myclip.mp4

mv oldfile.mp4 newfile.mov

@Dark Shikari sorry i don't understand! what do you mean by:

mv oldfile.mp4 newfile.mov
_

@Dark Shikari sorry i don't understand! what do you mean by:


_mp4 and mov are basically the same thing and so for most cases you can just rename the file.

[um3k]

Bah, I can't get anything to work. The files are from a 7D, it must be some kind of Canon/Apple conspiracy to make things a pain in the ass.

ok...install mediainfo (http://mediainfo.sourceforge.net)...rightclick on the .mov then select "Media Info" and post the infos about the file...also i recommend to record 10-15 sec and upload it to www.mediafire.com so we can make tests...

I think the problem is audio-related, judging by the error messages I've gotten. The file is gonna take a while to upload, I'd edit this post when it is done.

EDIT: New link in next post.

better upload it to http://www.multiupload.com/ so that people without a google account, can get it,...
(audio needs to be reencoded to mp3/aac/ac3 since pcm isn't allowed in .mp4 afaik,.. Hybrid should be able to handle the files: start Hybrid, set Audio Handling to custom add, set Video to passthrough, enable audio encoding in the audio tab and configure the format you want, open all the files you want to convert, set an output, add job to queue, change to queue tab, start queue)

[um3k]

Huh, that's odd. I have it set to allow viewing without signing in. Apparently it isn't working how I expect it to. Well, I'll go ahead and upload to multiupload, and try Hybrid in the mean time.

tools you need:

ffmpeg:
http://megui.org/auto/stable/ffmpeg-20900.zip

neroaacenc:
http://www.nero.com/eng/downloads-nerodigital-nero-aac-codec.php

mp4box:
http://kurtnoise.free.fr/mp4tools/MP4Box-0.4.5.zip


then make a __remux.bat like this:


for %%a in ("*.mov") do ffmpeg -i "%%a" -vn -f wav "%%~na.wav"

for %%a in ("*.wav") do neroaacenc -ignorelength -q 0.5 -if "%%a" -of "%%~na.m4a"

for %%a in ("*.mov") do mp4box -add "%%a"#video -add "%%~na.m4a" -new "%%~na.mp4"



copy this files in a working folder:


__remux.bat
ffmpeg.exe
gpac_20081211.patch
js32.dll
MP4Box.exe
neroAacEnc.exe


add all the .movs you want and run __remux.bat

you will get .mp4 (with h264+aac)

You could consolidate those three loops into one, by the way.
