====== ffmpeg - Conversions - Convert TS to MP4 ======

===== Software Encoding =====

This will [[https://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg.html#Stream-copy|stream copy]] (re-mux) all streams:

<code bash>
ffmpeg -i input -map 0 -c copy output.mp4
</code>

  * If your inputs formats are not compatible with MP4 you will get an error.
  * Your player/device may not support all arbitrary, less common, or legacy formats even if they are supported by MP4.
  * If in doubt re-encode to H.264 + AAC as shown below.

This will re-encode the video to H.264 and stream copy the audio:

<code bash>
ffmpeg -i input.ts -c:v libx264 -c:a copy output.mp4
</code>

The next example will re-encode both video and audio:

<code bash>
ffmpeg -i input.ts -c:v libx264 -c:a aac output.mp4
</code>

Lossless H.264 example:

<code bash>
ffmpeg -i input.ts -c:v libx264 -crf 0 -c:a copy output.mp4
</code>

**WARNING:**  Lossless files will be huge.
