Whats the best file converter for windows to turn these massive torrent files into an mp4

whats the best file converter for windows to turn these massive torrent files into an mp4.

Install Gentoo

>changes entire operating system for converting files

>Uses Windows

MKV and mp4 are simply containers and can be converted lossless

ffmpeg -i source.mkv -c:v destination.mp4

you mean compressing right? I wouldnt bother just buy more HDDs

>mkv
>a container format
>mp4
>also a container format
you do realize that the container you put something in has no impact on its file size?
Chances are those torrent files are x264 and sticking them in mp4 will do literally nothing to make them smaller.

>the absolute state of Sup Forums

>these massive torrent files

I don't think I have ever seen a torrent file larger than 100KB.

Use Handbrake if you want to compress the video data.

This might be weird but you should be able to remux mkv to mp4 with OBS under the file option in the top left.

don't you have to -c:v copy?

OP here. I use a Mac, I don't see "Gentoo" in the app store. Sorry, I'm not so good at computers. I just want to watch The Big Bang Theory on my iPad.

unironically installing linux to mass compress, convert etc files is easier than looking for tools for windows.

Ther'es a tool that only changes the countainer if the files are H.264 & AAC, but I don't remember the name.

> you do realize that the container you put something in has no impact on its file size?

MP4 has a little bigger size than MKV

OP here. Never mind I figured it out.

Why would you do that? You already have the high-quality mkv on your hard drive, just watch that instead of transcoding it with a shitty bitrate. If you want to do this for archival, then either download another torrent with a smaller size, or use pretty much any popular run-of-the mill video converter program with your desired settings.

True, but its negligible for the OPs concerns. We're talking differences of a few hundred bytes out of gigabytes of movie shit

If it's just simple size then you shouldn't convert (as size will mostly stay the same while introducing generational loss and making your files look less good without saving you any real space). You clearly don't know what you are doing and will just make everything worse.

Handbrake will do

Promise you OP is trying to stream to an xbox or ps-whatever which deliberately won't handle mkv to curb piracy.

I simply don't buy things without native mkv and ac3 support

If you want it to work on your PS or TV you need to re-encode all the files, which takes forever.
Just look for some shitty 360p Naruto streaming site, with hardcoded subtitles and download that with jDownloader

...

>convert torrent files to mp4
is this what Sup Forums has come to?

Or Handbrake

>Just look for some shitty 360p Naruto streaming site, with hardcoded subtitles and download that with jDownloader
You sir have no taste

There are torrent files with 10MB out there.

mp4 and mkv are just containers.
Just use ffmpeg with the audio/video COPY flags to avoid retranscoding the shit. You should be able to stamp them out really fast on any device

No one asked, nor does anyone care.

ffmpeg
dumbass
mp4 container is garbage too

you mean reencode the data, dumbass
handbrake is just ffmpeg + a few other things in one package. it works well. but you idiots all probably use it wrong.

How many times did (You) type -c:v copy -c:a copy before you realized you could just type -c copy?

>he doesn't torrent porn megapacks
lmaoing at ur lyfe

how many times was it your first day on the chan that you didnt realize that nobody knows who the fuck youre even talking to

I use Pazera.

I use handbrake for everything I do.

ffmpeg is available to Windows, you know

Whats the deal with using .FLV as a container? Most rips use .mp4/mkv/ or avi seeing as those are most popular with wide playback support. So why the hell use .flv which is not as supported. It's like your trying to limit your audience to only viewing on a computer. Reason I ask is cause I've got a show that someone ripped only in flv. That's the only version that exists of it. My streaming device connected to my tv sees the .flv files, displays a thumbnail image of them, but since the.flv format is not supported, won't play them. It will play .mp4/mkv/avi files though.

Flash streams videos contained in .flv (the extension does mean "Flash Video"), often through the rtmp protocol. Rippers are either too lazy to remux them, or the video is too fucked to be remuxed properly due to lag or some other technical problem.
