Re: [vdr] converting ts to mkv

2014-05-25 Thread VDR User
There's no reason to touch the audio/video streams at all unless you actually want to re-encode them for some reason. If all you want is an .mkv rather than a .ts, that can be done in seconds with mkvmerge. Re-encoding in that case is pointless & a waste of time. __

I already told you: "You can merge them directly with the mkv container using append. All you need is the free "mkvmerge" tool." Maybe you're unaware that ts & mkv are simply containers. Nothing is converted when you change containers. Put it this way, milk is milk whether you have it in a glass
