Excellent tool: Small and to the point. Does everything you expect it to.

I am sometimes facing some issues when trying to perform some exotic conversions (like take a FLV and convert it to TS), so it woul dbe nice if we could re-encode the video stream in addition to audio.

Can't properly use with "Open with". App launches but not with selected file(s).

On a batch conversion it ruined the original files for all but the last file which it did convert.

There should be preferences to set defaults. For example, why would I want to convert an .MKV to a .MKV as default?

But you did notice the warning in red?

Raymondnichols replied on 25 Jan 2012

Note: There is a warning, in red as the developer points out, if you leave the settings to convert to the same format that you will overwrite. A preference setting to set a default output format would be a really good idea.

(developer) replied on 25 Jan 2012

you can edit the plist to rearrange the extension order till I add some prefs.

Excellent, fast app for mkv to m4v. Never had an unplayable file. Have only struck a couple of mkv's that it can't process (the compression thing @Olc mentioned).

Is this still in development? I sure hope so.

As much as I love this concept and the simple UI, probably 15 of my last 20 attempts to remux to MP4 and M4V were unusable, and I've never gotten a useable VOB in at least 20 tries. I tried remuxing to transport stream twice as well, same results. I think I had better results with a recent previous version (not sure which), though with fewer attempts.

I know remux is not a muxer for joining elementary streams into various file formats, but I'd be most grateful to anyone who can direct me to a nice simple app that does — especially to MPEG2.

ffmpegX (http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/8988/ffmpegx) might just be the right app for you. The multiplexing feature can be found in the "Tools" section.

Very good application. Simple interface but gets the job done.

MKV to m4v or mp4 works great. I think there is a bug with MKV muxed with latest version of MKVtoolNix though (new "compression" feature).

Tried to convert an MKV to MP$. Did the job indeed fast but the result was unplayable.

Let me guess, you tried putting AC3 into MP4.
MP4 doesn't allow AC3, you need M4V for it.

Olc replied on 17 Jul 2011

MP4 or M4V with AC3 works very well in QT, VLC, Mplayer.

frahman reviewed on 14 Jun 2011

This is great little program for converting 5.1 AAC to AC3. Well done.

I would like to add a couple of suggestions:

- Add option to 'append' the converted stream. (atm its replaced)
- Add option to add a subtitle file while muxing

(developer) replied on 17 Jun 2011

You can duplicate the track by pressing alt and dragging it before converting.

frahman replied on 17 Jun 2011

@developer: Worked like a charm. Thanks.

If its not too much trouble please include an option to downmix 5.1 audio into 2ch AAC with Dolby ProLogic II. This should cover the whole nine yards.

Tried with the previous version and that doesn't have this issue.

When you convert and rescale the result is always scrambled (green and red vertical bars). Any fix for this?

Could be a problem with the updated FFmpeg git version.

Olc had trouble on 14 Apr 2012

Still experiencing subtitles problems. Remuxing a file that contains subtitles will result in a file with subtitles that stay visible forever until next subtitles appear.

It keeps locking up after dragging a mp4 onto the app. I cannot get this working at all.

Any help?

Olc had trouble on 17 Jul 2011

- Only 10% of the M2TS files i have could be muxed back to MKV or to another container (they were originally muxed from MKV with TSmuxer). I can't find any reason why.

- There is a bug in the batch window. When deleting or moving an item, it seems to mess up the list very badly.

- OSX screensaver (or standby) seems to kill the app.

- Muxing a bluray sub to MKV seems to affect the ETA since it seems ffmpeg takes much longer (extra demuxing?).

- MKV muxed into MP4 don't work in QuickTime but do work in VLC.

- Some MKV files have audio problems (loud beep) after being muxed. Muxed first to a new MKV container seems to fix the problem.

Andrej. had trouble on 07 Jul 2011

Tried to convert .mp4 files to .mkv. My player Dune BD Prime 3.0 does play both, but staring time for .mp4 is far longer, though. So, after transforming the container my player didn't play video strim at all. Just audio. But my Mac played converted video file without any problem.
I just wondering – is that converter problem or Dune player?

Markoh had trouble on 28 Dec 2010

My WDTV, which can't downmix DTS, now plays the MKVs with the DTS > AC3 converted audiotrack (THANKS!!!)... but for some reason the audio is only coming out of my right speaker on my HiFi. Playing the same MKV with VLC is fine. Other MKVs, which were not converted with remux, play fin in full stereo on my WDTV + HiFi.

Thanks for your efforts so far!

You may need to upgrade to 1.1.6. AAC5.1 works fine now probably because the guys at FFmpeg fixed the ch mapping issue.
