New Post: Remuxing H264 WTV to MP4, MKV, AVI or TS without recoding to MPEG2

Yeah, I was referring to the remuxing H264 without recoding - and I am using the Early Access beta version.

In a nutshell, the MP4 file that is created with the default remuxing MP4 profile won't play on my phone, xbox video, etc. and gives a codec error. I'm pretty sure it has to do with the Video settings and not the Audio...

I was able to make some tweaks to my profile to get a file that works and looks great on my PC/Surface!
It takes a bit longer to process, but the file plays just fine on my PC. Still won't play on my phone though...

[MP4 Unprocessed Tweaked]
Description=Tweaked file for Windows 8, Xbox Video, Surface etc.

ffmpeg-video=-ss 3 -vf yadif=3:-1:0 -r 50 -vcodec mpeg4 -q 5 -f mp4 -y

ffmpeg-audioac3=-acodec copy
ffmpeg-ext=.mp4
ffmpeg-audiodelay=skip

Any thoughts on what I can try to tweak would be greatly appreciated!

Perhaps look at the media info of the outputted file. It may be the case the specification is incompatible with your phone or xbox for example.

I didn't understand what you're trying. Please upload a log file and let me know in reference what is happening vs what you would like to happen.

Who is this referring too?

In my case, I am wondering why so many of my recordings are corrupted and are falling back to slow remux.

I also want to know if it possible to fallback to slow remuxing h264>h264 instead of h264>mpeg2

Finally, how long does it take before the log file will show if it has found a corruption in the input file? At which point during the conversion process?
