Easy way to convert MKV to MP4 with ffmpeg

Converting mkv to mp4 with ffmpeg

Essentially just copy the existing video and audio stream as is into a new container, no funny business!

The easiest way to "convert" MKV to MP4, is to copy the existing video and audio streams and place them into a new container. This avoids any encoding task and hence no quality will be lost, it is also a fairly quick process and requires very little CPU power. The main factor is disk read/write speed.

With ffmpeg this can be achieved with -c copy. Older examples may use -vcodec copy -acodec copy which does the same thing.

These examples assume ffmpeg is in your PATH. If not just substitute with the full path to your ffmpeg binary.

A brief description of cv-ring and cv-pls

What is 'cv-ring', 'cv-pls' and 'delv-pls'

In the Stack Overflow PHP chat you may notice the regulars using tags like cv-pls, cv-ring and delv-pls. These tags are used only in the chat room to communicate with other users that a question or answer may need more votes to be closed or deleted. The PHP tag has a lot of inferior quality and duplicative information on Stack Overflow. We feel that inferior quality questions bring down the site and make it harder to find good information, particularly about PHP. By closing and merging these questions as appropriate you'll find the information you need quicker.

  • cv-ring is just a 'funny name' we give to the group of regulars who use the tags
  • cv-pls is an in-chat tag that communicates "Hey, this question may be of inferior quality. Check it out and, if you feel appropriate, cast a close vote."
  • delv-pls is an in-chat tag that communicates "Hey, this question has alr

I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because it has nothing to do with programming – PeeHaa 1 hour ago
Excuse me, but although I AM a programmer, for the past 35 YEARS, and a very experienced one at that, IT TAKES programming to figure this out. So, using apt-get update and apt-get INSTALL doesn't work to fix the problem. SO, excuse, me, but where else can I go to find a solution except the best place on the web for questions. NOT every question MUST deal with PROGRAMMING or perhaps, there "IS" a programming feature I NEED to do, through TERMINAL to "light up" the ethernet port. I AM 54 years old and need a solution. Instead of VOTING to destroy this question, how about we find a solution. – Peter 22 mins ago
BTW, we're ALL programmers here.... perhaps a bit of thinking together, vice VOTING my question OUT the window would be more of a prudent solution, don't you all think? We do that together in a real world work environment. How intelligent would it be if we simply told
