ffmpeg_mkv_mp4_conversion.sh
# Converting mkv to mp4 with ffmpeg
# Basically just copy video and audio stream as is into a new container, no funny business
# Single file conversion example
ffmpeg -i example.mkv -vcodec copy -acodec copy example.mp4
# Multiple file conversion (cd into directory containing mkv files and run the following)
# Unix one-liner example
for i in *mkv; do ffmpeg -i "$i" -vcodec copy -acodec copy "${i%.mkv}.mp4"; done
# Windows one-liner example
for %i IN (*.mkv) DO ffmpeg -i "%i" -vcodec copy -acodec copy "%i.mp4"
