I understand that this is SIMILAR to questions asked before and using those posts I have actually got the file process going however when it finishes (with out errors mind you) the .mp4 is a 0KB file and when opened using movie player it says stream contains no data.

code used to convert:

avconv -i movie.mkv -map 0 -strict experimental movie.mp4

also

avconv -i movie.mkv -map 0 movie.mp4

also

avconv -i movie.mkv -codec copy movie.mp4

lastly

avconv -i movie.mkv -c:v copy -c:a libfaac movie.mp4

they all end with this.

Try installing the Ubuntu restricted extras package. You may be missing some of the required codecs. You can install through the software center as shown below:SoftCenter-Restricted-extras

Or you can install via the command line with sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras

  • Thanks for this! I'll give it a try next time I try to convert something (honestly might be a while I've since I've changed jobs.)
