How to convert .m2ts video to .mkv video without re-encoding by ffmpeg ?

[aaajan]

Hi Everyone

Like the title, I want only to copy all the .m2ts contains to .mkv without re-encoding (remux).

I tried this command, but it didn't work.

ffmpeg -i "input.m2ts" -c copy "output.mkv"

Thank you !

Alternatively you could just drag the m2ts file into MKVToolNix and hit remux.

What was the error message?

Try this

ffmpeg -i "input.m2ts" -c:v copy -c:a copy "output.mkv"
pause

and report the error message from the console.

OK I opened the software, I added the file, but where is the remux option on the software ?

OK. Thank you for source. That means ffmpeg can't handle it...

Post #4 has an alternate command you can try

Alternatively you could just drag the m2ts file into MKVToolNix and hit remux.

OK I opened the software, I added the file, but where is the remux option on the software ?

Press the big middle button at the bottom of the page called "Start Multiplexing" Then once you have started the process go to the left of the screen and click on "Job Output" to see the progress.

If it is not visible drag the corner of the window.

Thank you for all your suggestions. netmask56's suggestion, MKVToolNix worked well with me.
