Is there anyway to automatically convert MKV TO MP4 after an mkv file is downloaded and extracted etc?

I am wanting to do this directly on my iPad as I am using iSabnzbd to download directly on to my iPad http://forums.sabnzbd.org/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=9747 I figured that the iPad is running python so can I use a python script to convert the video as well?

If not is there any other way to convert from MKV to MP4 directly on IOS?

Thanks in advance

I found this but I have not tried it myself. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=12076949

Thanks for that info dude, it's a good start but still a fair bit of messing around, just wanted sabnzbd to automatically do it after a dl, ie... Download>Repair>Unpack>detectmkv>Changecontainer to MP4

The above script I have to manually input the script in to terminal, then when the script is running input exact dir etc

I have been using SabMobileHD and it allows you to run your own script for any download!


Can anyone write me a pyphon script to change mkv container in to mp4 container and leave audio as it is already, that I can use with sabnzbd for downloaded mkvs?

I have installed ffmpeg from Cydia so this could run the job couldn't it?

Could always use Plex Server which will take your existing media and live transcode it to a media stream
