Provide your file details:Code:ffmpeg -i input.mkv -c:v libx264 -profile:v high -level:v 4.0 -c:a copy output.mp4
Code:ffmpeg -i input.mkv
I'm trying to get an MKV file to play on my PS4 Pro, but can't seem to figure it out. I just checked and the PS4 Pro can play MKV files, but only "H.264/MPEG-4 AVC High Profile Level 4.2 format"
My question is...how do I do that ? I looked and it is in H.264....but what about AVC ? I would like to keep the original file because I know that if I convert it to MP4, wouldn't it lose quality ?
I know that the PS4 Pro can't play H.265, which after some digging, is what the video is. Can I convert that to H.264 ?
I'm using handbrake.

Think about this. Once bread becomes toast, you can't make it back into bread.
Provide your file details:Code:ffmpeg -i input.mkv -c:v libx264 -profile:v high -level:v 4.0 -c:a copy output.mp4

Open the source file in mediainfo, view>text, to see the details.
Post the info here
Does PS4 play files at 4k resolution? Not according to this:
https://www.videoconverterfactory.com/tips/ps4-video-formats.html
Use HB and convert it to 1080p
Yes, PS4Pro can play 4k files. PS4 probably also.

You can try repacking from mkv to mp4 (without any loss of quality and fast).
ffmpeg -i input.mkv -c copy output.mp4
That doesn't do anything. It keeps telling me that -i isn't recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
-i A Christmas Carol (1999) 4K Upscale AI.mkv -c copy output.mp4
-i A Christmas Carol (1999) 4K Upscale AI.mkv -c A Christmas Carol (1999) 4K Upscale AI.mp4
What am I doing wrong ?
This is just maddening. I just tried something else....ffmpeg -i A Christmas Carol (1999) 4K Upscale AI.mkv -vcodec copy -acodec copy A Christmas Carol (1999) 4K Upscale AI. mp4
All that happens is that I get this...
Error opening input: No such file or directory
Error opening input file A.
Error opening input files: No such file or directory
I'm done. I will just never get this movie to play on my playstation...

Use vidcoder to re-encode to h.264 and keep the original till you get a ps that plays h.265.

If you read what i said 'till you get a ps that plays h265' which means in the future,but as stated the file is only h264.

Your video is already AVC:
H.264 is AVC, so this is already ok, but the profile of your video is main, level 4 but should be high, level 4.2.Format : AVC
Format/Info : Advanced Video Codec
Format profile : Main@L4
So you need to recode your video with this specifications.

1. Paste the MediaInfo report from your original MKV file. From what you pasted it looks like it's AVC. AVC=H264.
2. You won't keep the original quality, at most you can keep it at say 98%. And I've already given the command
(ffmpeg -i source.mkv -preset slower -crf 17 -c:a copy output.mp4)
You should get a file about 60-70% bigger than mkv. If you get bigger, it means that the quality of mkv is not that good...
oops

My xbox series x plays 265 and vp9 and all manners of codes through vlc and up to 3840 x 2160 with no issues but sounds like you want to stay with ps.

Don't really have much of a choice. I don't have hundreds of dollars to spend. And if I did, I'd get a PS5...
