Recontainer video
Sometimes your video file is encoded with the right format but is simply in the wrong container format. For instance, the xbox 360 will not play matroska files (.mkv) but it will play the video encoded inside the .mkv (usually h.264 AVC). You can convert the .mkv to a .avi file that the xbox 360 will play without having to re-encode the video:
- Convert .mkv to .avi without re-encoding:
- ffmpeg -i your_matroska.mkv -vcodec copy -acodec copy your_new_video.avi
