Super-Auto-Container-Converter

Post by goosewurkz »

I wanted to share a small tool I put together to help streamline something I’ve had to do a lot: converting .mkv files into .mp4 without re-encoding the video or losing quality.

A lot of media players and streaming devices are still picky with MKV, and Plex will often transcode on the fly if the container or audio format isn’t compatible — even when the video itself is perfectly fine. That wastes CPU and hurts playback performance, especially on lower-power servers.

So I made a simple, easy-to-use GUI that sits on top of FFmpeg and handles all of this automatically.

Key Features
  • Easy GUI — no command-line FFmpeg knowledge required.
  • No Video Re-Encoding — the video stream is always copied (-c:v copy) so there is zero quality loss and no extra processing time.
  • Improved Playback Compatibility — outputs .mp4, which is widely supported across Smart TVs, Apple TV, Roku, game consoles, mobile devices, etc. This reduces or eliminates Plex transcoding.
Smart Audio Handling:
  • SD files (DVD quality) → Keeps the same AC3 audio bitrate or converts other formats to match the original.
  • HD files (720p/1080p/4K) → Converts audio to AC3 5.1 at 640kbps, which is the maximum allowed in MP4 and the most compatible format for streaming clients.
  • Batch Folder Conversion — Select a folder and convert an entire season or library at once. Huge time saver for TV collections.
This tool basically automates the “smart remuxing” workflow in a way that’s easy for anyone to use. You just need to have ffmpeg already installed to run. I've used this on 50+ movies so far and 5 complete tv shows to get all the bugs worked out.
