Simplest mux from mkv to mp4?

[Foofaraw]

Vegas doesn't support mkv's but it does support mp4.

So I need to remux an mkv into mp4.

Preferably a batch file I could just dump the file on and it would all be automatic.

I tried ffmpeg

ffmpeg.exe -y -acodec copy -vcodec copy -i %1 "%~dpn1.mp4"

It does produce what looks like an mp4 file (Mediainfo says it is) but Vegas doesn't recognize it.

Anybody who can suggest something else?

Or did i miss something in that Forrest of commandline switches?

Don't suppose you could suggest command line arguments?

You got megui? Use the mp4 muxer there.

also run the output ffmpeg creates through mp4box

Or you could try this ffmpeg build (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=152419). This supposedly fixes some problems the original has had. (I'm not sure if this is still the case, though.)

Also simply:
ffmpeg -i input.mkv -vcodec copy -acodec copy output.mp4

Otherwise I can only suggest demuxing and remuxing again with L-Smash or mp4box or using AviSynth and a virtual file system (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=133313).

Hey sneaker_ger thanks commenting.
Well your commandline produces an mp4, but Vegas still barfs on it.

Don't know what lsmash is, i'll try and google it.
I'd have liked to have bat file to do this, but since i don't have to do that often i suppose i'll suffer an interface.

Both l-smash and mp4box are available as command-line tools, as well as mkvextract, so you can build a batch with them.

l-smash (http://www.mediafire.com/?9l2u6z4s3i9zu) is just an alternative to mp4box, they basically work in the same way: raw video and audio input and mp4 container output.

Hi there,

Would you mind explaining why the following command-line doesn't work ???

muxer -i input.264 -o output.mp4

Error: Failed to open input file

WTF? :confused:

[sneaker_ger]

Sorry, can't help you. That error can mean anything from a misspelled filename to a broken file.

Thanks for answering.

I will keep using mp4box and/or mp4creator.

EDIT:

Hummm, according to a page written by the VFR_Maniac,
"muxer" is just a renamed upgrade of "audiomuxer" :—/

However, "remuxer" is as stubborn as the MP4 audio muxer :—/

So, IF L-Smash cannot work properly outside of x264,
THEN ¿what is the point of those standalone applications? :rolleyes:
