This program converts all FLV and MKV video files in a directory to the MP4 container format. The resulting MP4 format is suitable for playback on a range of devices including iOS (iPhone and iPad), Android, and Playstation 3.

Efficient conversion is accomplished by copying the video (H.264) and audio streams. The audio stream will be transcoded to AAC if necessary.

The ffmpeg program must be installed and in your system path.

This program runs using Python 2.7.
