I've been trying to take an old AVI file I have that has an MPEG4 video with MP3 audio and re-encapsulate it in an MP4 container. The audio was easy enough to figure out (-acodec libfaac), but I don't want to re-encode the video. I've had a number of issues when I've tried with ffmpeg but kept getting errors like [mp4 @ 0x7fe6cc01f200] pts has no value and severe stutter in the resulting videos.

So what I'd like to know is what can I use to re-encapsulate an MPEG4 stream in an AVI file into an MP4 file (preferably on Mac OS X)?

Please include the full uncut ffmpeg command line output. Also, why do you need it in a different container if the existing one works? –  slhck Oct 24 '13 at 11:38
