You can copy the audio and video streams, and put it in a variety of<br>
containers. The options in the one I have here are avi (4 sorts) ,<br>
mpeg-ts, mpeg-ps mpeg-video, mp4, ogm, psp, flv and mkv.<br>

</div>Yes it can, but see above.<br>
<br>
However, whatever you do is probably going to remux the video and<br>
audio streams into whatever container you choose. (I think). So if the<br>
error you are wishing to preserve is in the original muxing, I suspect<br>
it will be lost.<br>
<div><div></div><br></div></blockquote></div><br>Yeah, avidemux does it all. I have used for mp4, flv, avi, mpg and recently some MKVs (it doesn't have this one down pat, though, quite some options to fudge with it for optimal results).<br>
<br>Just hit "copy" for video and audio encoding options. IIRC, it simply passes the file to mplayer, reads the output and resets the encoding options to as close as possible-- if not exactly as-- the original.<br>
