Convert mkv to mp4 with ffmpeg
- by JohnS
When I try converting mkv to mp4 using ffmpeg, the following error occurs:
[ipod @ 0x16fa0a0] Application provided invalid, non monotonically increasing dts to muxer in stream 0: -2 = -2 av_interleaved_write_frame(): Invalid argument
I used this command to convert the file:
ffmpeg -i input.mkv -vcodec copy -acodec copy -absf aac_adtstoasc output.m4v
The input file has the following characteristics:
mediainfo input.mkv

Being new to ffmpeg, I'm not sure what the error means or how to correct it.
Thanks!
