Lossless Conversion of TS/MKV/FLV/F4V Format Video to MP4 in One Second

There are many video editing software that do not support the import of ts/flv formats. Although you can use audio/video format converters to transcode, this method is too slow...

In fact, formats like ts, mkv, flv, and f4v can actually be converted to MP4 format in just one second.

What are video formats and video codecs?

Before talking about format conversion, let's briefly introduce some basic knowledge about video formats and video encoding.

FLV, F4V, TS, and MKV are probably the most common video formats that can be downloaded nowadays but are not supported for import by some video editing software. This article is mainly aimed at solving the transcoding problems of these formats.

Video Container Format

You can imagine a video as a box, and different file extensions correspond to different packaging methods of the box.

These boxes contain video images (pure pictures), audio, subtitles, etc.

And every object has its own code.

Video Coding

Encoding is used to compress and decompress video/audio data.

If it is not compressed at all, a one-minute video could even reach a size of over ten gigabytes!

For example, video encoding formats commonly include MPEG2, h.264, h.265, RealVideo (commonly used in early rm/rmvb files), and VC-1 (dominated by Microsoft and commonly found in wmv files).

The common audio encodings include four lossless ones: FLAC, ALAC, TrueHD, and DTS-HD MA, as well as four lossy ones: AAC, MP3, AC3, and DTS (Core).

When the player is playing, it first unpacks the box, a professional term for which is "splitting", taking out the video, audio, etc. from it, and then plays them.

Convert Video Format in Seconds

Well then, as mentioned above, MKV, MP4, TS, MOV and the like are just containers.

You can store H.264 videos in MOV files, MP4 files, or MKV files as well.

Of course, not all encodings and arbitrary encapsulation formats can be combined. Here, I won't explain in detail. If you're interested, you can search it on Baidu yourself.

Then it's very simple. If your video editing software doesn't support importing the MKV format, just change the MKV container to an MP4 container. The h.264 inside the container remains unchanged (that is, no re-encoding is needed), which can save a lot of "transcoding" time.

Change the suffix directly to convert the format?

You may have seen online that it's claimed: Just change the suffix from ts/flv to mp4 and that's it.

Indeed, although the format was changed, this method can play it.

But when actually imported into video editing software such as Premiere, it still doesn't work.

You might ask, why can't I import it even though it's already in MP4 format?

This is not hard to understand: In fact, the function of a file's suffix is merely to let the system know which software to use to open it. As for whether it can be opened normally or not, that still depends on the file's own encoding.

As mentioned above, when the player is playing, it first unpacks the box. Whether it can actually play depends on whether the player supports decoding the "encapsulated video".

Because the player on your computer can decode and play the video in ts/flv files by itself, you changed the file extension to mp4. And since the mp4 file type is also opened by this player, that's why it can be played.

In fact, no matter what you change the suffix to, you can still play it with that player.

Of course, some players will detect the video file format in advance, inform you that this type of file cannot be played, and then stop unpacking and playing.

MKV/FLV/F4V to MP4 Conversion by Seconds

Based on the principle of installing as few software as possible, for the conversion of these three formats, it is recommended to use the Xiaowan Toolbox that was recommended before: https://direct-link.net/1394003/uIv12QH9u9BG

Xiaowan Toolbox supports lossless extraction and encapsulation of MKV/FLV/F4V formats.

We need to use the "Container Conversion" function of the Wanma Toolbox. The operation is very simple. Just drag the flv/mkv video into the video container window, select the output format, and then click "Container" to complete.

As can be seen from the above picture, the conversion is completed almost instantly, taking almost no time at all.

FLV/F4V/MKV formats can all be transcoded in an instant with Moyea ToolBox.

After conversion, it can be easily imported into video editing software such as Premiere.👌

There are many video editing software (such as Premiere) that do not support the import of ts format. Although you can use an audio/video format converter to transcode, this method is too slow...

TS to MP4 Conversion by Seconds

TS format videos also can be converted to MP4 format in just one second!

We can use the following software to solve the above problem, Medlexo:https://link-target.net/1394003/IdKGSj4evWtW

Download link for the backup:https://direct-link.net/1394003/zdRIXr3SmeYN

After downloading, double-click to open the software, select "Any format to MP4", then choose "Lossless Instant Conversion to MP4", and finally click "Start Conversion" at the bottom.

The software will pop up a window for you to select the file. The subsequent video conversion is completed in an instant, and even Akashu didn't have time to take a screenshot.

The converted video can still be imported normally into video editing software such as Pr. I won't take screenshots to explain here.

If you need to convert multiple files at once, just check the "Batch Convert" box and drag the videos you want to convert onto the software interface.

In addition, this software can also be used to merge TS videos or compress MP4 videos. I won't demonstrate each one here.
