Which "demux" program extracts audio & video from various file formats?

[jaibubwan]

I'm not sure if I'm using the right word when I say "demux".
Basically, I want to extract the audio & video out of normal video files.
I don't want these components to be re-encoded.
They should be "passthrough", "untouched", "lossless", etc.

I know there's a "Video De/Multiplexers" section here at VideoHelp.
But many of these programs seem to be limited to a specific video format.
Is there any program that can "demux" various file formats? (MKV, Mp4, AVI, TS, etc.)

ffmpeg

Demux audio: -vn -acodec copy
Demux video: -vcodec copy -an

Does anyone know how to create a "BAT" file for these commands?
Specifically, I'd love a BAT file that - when executed - could batch process all files in the same folder.
Preferably, it should be portable & name the extracted audio/video automatically.

EDIT: I looked this up, and every batch script out there seems require you output to a fixed format. Wondering why there isn't a script that simply extracts the audio or video to its natural format.

Bro use gmkvextractgui mkvcleaver

Unfortunately, this didn't work with alot of my MP4's & TS files.
It worked on MKV's though.

Try tsMuxeR

[poisondeathray]

for mp4

mp4box -raw * INPUT.mp4

[jaibubwan]

Try tsMuxeR

Unfortunately, this program did not recognize the audio in the MP4's & MKV's I inputed.

Rather than trying for one program that does it all, use the mkvmerge family of programs for MKV files. AVI demux for AVI. TSMuxer for TS files. Another work around would be to wrap all of the various file formats in MKV using MKVMerge GUI then use gMKVExtract to extract any streams you want... I have a folder on my computer called Video Tools that contains shortcuts to all the video processing programs I have. The majority are public domain or shareware and a few purchased. Quick and easy to deal with whatever format. For my Media Player (Popcorn A-500) MKV is the best solution so I put all my rips into a MKV container.

BAT or CMD can be created in plain Notepad - this is just plain text so nothing special is required. https://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch001666.htm
You should check few threads on this forum - https://forum.videohelp.com/threads/385022-Demux-all-audio-streams-with-ffmpeg - this one can be also useful https://evilshit.wordpress.com/2012/09/27/how-to-split-and-demux-a-file-with-ffmpeg/ .
Natural format can loose some information about stream as such it is wise to use some container - mkv is quite flexible.
And in Unix machines shell is quite powerful so it is possible to create script with analysis and automatic selection - on plain Windows this may be a difficult.

I've only tried it with .mp4 .mkv and .MTS video files with .AAC .DTS and .AC3 audio respectively.... they all work fine.

I'm guessing you're trying to de-mux files with some other audio format?..
