/g/entoomen, I need your help
I want to copy the audio, subtitles and video to another from .mkv to .mp4 while deleting the original files. the proccess should be something like this:
>Copy from 1.mkv
>Create 1.mp4
>Delete 1.mkv
>Copy from 2.mkv
>Create 2.mp4
>Delete 2.mkv
and so on...
How can I manage to do it?
Yes, I made sure the content from the mkv files is compatible with the mp4 container.
Do you mean convert the files?

exactly
dont know why the word didnt came to mind
however I dont want to reencode it, just copy the h.264 encoded content with audio to another container

Google around for conversion software.

Well the ffmpeg command will be ffmpeg -i 1.mkv -c:a copy -c:v copy -c:s copy 1.mp4
Do the filenames have any special characters, or are they literally 1 2 3 4? You could do ls -l | while read foo; do ffmpeg -i "$foo" "$foo".mp4; done or something idk

1, 2, 3 are just example names. The files's names are different from each other and are not in a numerical pattern

doesn't matter for that little loop I don't think, but if there are any escape characters you could conceivably end up with problems. But that's the basic priciple; read out the files in the directories as a list, and parse each entry as a variable, and insert that variable as the input name and the output name with mp4 appended. That's how I'd do it anyway. Or you could maybe do it like for i in *.mkv etc etc.

He's trying to learn, dipshit. Go back to your basement general.
Combine the power of bash and ffmpeg.
Bash is tricky to learn but if you copypaste examples you can get some use- like copying generic loops and just pasting in your own commands.

FormatFactory
It even runs in WINE.
use staxrip
for f in *.mkv; do ffmpeg -i "${f}" -c:a copy -c:v -c:s copy "${f%.*}.mp4"; done
Learn bash. It really is useful.
