Hello! I am trying to* re-encode MKV files into MP4 *and am getting pretty desperate. FFMPEG changes my files to MP4 format, with the same quality intact, but *the file size nearly doubles* with every conversion. (I don't know if this is helpful, but using conversion programs like HandBrake yields the same results: same quality but double the size of the original MKV.) This is taking up a lot of GB on my laptop, but I absolutely need the MP4 container to play my videos in Sony Vegas.
Here is the code that I run: ffmpeg -i input.mkv -c:v libx264 output.mp4 Why is the file size doubling? Is there anything I can do to prevent this or do you have any other suggestions? I seriously appreciate any help, *thank you so much*!! _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-user mailing list ffmpeg-user@ffmpeg.org http://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-user To unsubscribe, visit link above, or email ffmpeg-user-requ...@ffmpeg.org with subject "unsubscribe".
