I am trying to find a nice quick way of converting my MKV media to MP4/M4V on Windows for playback on both Apple TV and XBMC.
Up until now I have been running a batch file that goes through each file in a given folder and runs the following FFMPEG command against it
This works well for playback on the Apple TV but the resulting file is useless on XBMC. It plays really well for the first 5 or so minutes and then starts stuttering before slowing down to about 1 fps.
Can anybody suggest a good converter for Windows that will just repack the video into an MP4 container and convert the audio to an Apple TV compatible format? I'm running all this on a low powered HP microserver with a GeForce 210 so a full re-encode of the video using something like Handbrake just isn't a viable option.

ffmpeg -y -stats -i "%%a" -acodec libvo_aacenc -ac 2 -ar 44100 -ab 192k -vcodec copy "%%a.mp4"This works well for playback on the Apple TV but the resulting file is useless on XBMC. It plays really well for the first 5 or so minutes and then starts stuttering before slowing down to about 1 fps.
