  1. Remuxing Files to MKV Remuxing, in our context, refers to the process of changing the “container” format used for a given file. For example from MP4 to MKV or from AVI to MKV. It also allows adding or removing of content streams as needed.
  2. Note: this will work for all video formats, not just mkv/mp4/avi – they’re just common formats (and the 3 that I’ve found most often have sync issues). Open the video with the out of sync audio in VLC and then select Tools- Track Synchronization (Mac users: select Window- Track Synchronization).
Hello forum, I need some help. Has anyone been able to successfully mux AVC/h.264 encoded HD-DVDs into an MKV container?
Since the introduction of HD-DVD and with the backup tools available on this site, I have been successfully backing up my VC-1 encoded HD-DVDs. I usually rip the movie to hard drive using AnyDVD, rebuild and demux the EVOs using EVOdemux, if necessary extract AC-3 audio using eac3to and my own EAC3toGUI utility, Mux into MKV using GDSmux and set time codes and chapters using MKVMerge (MKVtoolnix).
However, I have not yet been able to successfully mux an AVC/h.264 encoded HD-DVD to MKV! GDSmux and MKVmerge will not mux AVC/h.264 files correctly. Sure I could re-encode the files, but who wants to wait 18 - 24 hours for an encode? and even then, the results are not lossless. After all, the main reason I buy HD-DVDs is for the higher resolution and detail.
Alternatively I would be willing to use another container format as long as it allows me to mux the video with my chosen audio track and does not require re-encoding the AVC/h.264 to a lossy format.
Thanks in advance.

Ffmpeg -i input.mkv -codec copy output.mp4 It auto-detects a Matroska to MP4 container conversion based on input/output filenames.codec copy stream copies, or 're-muxes', the streams from the input to the output without re-encoding. Think of it like a copy and paste.

How To Convert M2TS to MKV Using MKVtoolNIX

Introduction

So you are in process of building a Media Server in your home to move your collection from DVD / Blu-Ray to your drive to stream to your TV’s and other devices. While transferring and you have run into a file on the Blu-Ray that has the m2ts file extension. The question is how do we make this available for streaming? Simple answer and solution is to convert to another format. In this post we will cover how to convert using the command line with mkvmerge and MKVToolNix.

Mkvmerge is part of MKVToolNix tools, MKVToolNix is a set of tools to create, alter and inspect Matroska files under Linux, other Unix and Windows.

All of the steps we will be doing will be done on Linux running Fedora 21.

Step 1 – Install Needed Applications

First we will need to install mkvmerge which is part of MKVToolNix, which we will be installing from the developer as the Fedora packages install the command line tool and not the GUI and also we will get the latest releases when running updates.

First we must add a repository from the developer. In order to add the repository all you have to do is to execute the following two commands:
