 ====== ffmpeg - Conversions - Convert TS to MP4 ======
+===== Software Encoding =====
+This will [[https://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg.html#Stream-copy|stream copy]] (re-mux) all streams:
+<code bash>
+ffmpeg -i input -map 0 -c copy output.mp4
+</code>
+  * If your inputs formats are not compatible with MP4 you will get an error.
+  * Your player/device may not support all arbitrary, less common, or legacy formats even if they are supported by MP4.
+  * If in doubt re-encode to H.264 + AAC as shown below.
+This will re-encode the video to H.264 and stream copy the audio:
+<code bash>
+ffmpeg -i input.ts -c:v libx264 -c:a copy output.mp4
+</code>
+The next example will re-encode both video and audio:
+<code bash>
+ffmpeg -i input.ts -c:v libx264 -c:a aac output.mp4
+</code>
+Lossless H.264 example:
+<code bash>
+ffmpeg -i input.ts -c:v libx264 -crf 0 -c:a copy output.mp4
+</code>
+<WRAP important>
+**WARNING:**  Lossless files will be huge.
