In ffmpeg command line I can make an MKV from whatever input file by
This doesn't reencode the video or audio streams, just remuxes them into an MKV. (Useful for Flash, for example.)Code:FFmpeg -i myfile.xyz -vcodec copy -acodec copy myfile.mkv
I've looked a few ffmpeg GUIs (there are dozens...) and wonder if any support this feature?
GUIs like for instance Xmediarecode uses ffmpeg and have useful presets for various devices; but not, as far as I can work out, one that just lets you copy the streams into a different container.
I can and do just use a batch file as above, but ffmpeg's command line is so damn complex and poorly documented and has dozens of slightly different builds, it takes hours fpr me to work out a good script, I end up Googling through a dozen forums and finding snippets of code to give me hints. It gets tedious.

Thanks, but I know how to write batch files. It's not scripting loops that's hard, I do that every day, but working out the best ffmpeg options.
So far I haven't found ANY gui that gives you access to all of them.Last edited by AlanHK; 21st Jul 2010 at 04:45.
