MP4 is the most popular video format available for all platforms. Typically, AAC is used to encode the audio stream, and H264 or HEVC codecs are used to encode the video stream.

Use MP4SinkSettings class to set the parameters.

The sample pipeline

UniversalSourceBlock:VideoOutput → H264EncoderBlock → MP4SinkBlock:VideoInput UniversalSourceBlock:AudioOutput → AACEncoderBlock → MP4SinkBlock:AudioInput

Sample code

var pipeline = new MediaBlocksPipeline(false);

var filename = "test.mp4";
var fileSource = new UniversalSourceBlock(await UniversalSourceSettings.CreateAsync(new Uri(filename)));

var aacEncoderBlock = new AACEncoderBlock(new MFAACEncoderSettings() { Bitrate = 192 });
pipeline.Connect(fileSource.AudioOutput, aacEncoderBlock.Input);

var h264EncoderBlock = new H264EncoderBlock(new MFH264EncoderSettings());
pipeline.Connect(fileSource.VideoOutput, h264EncoderBlock.Input);

var mp4SinkBlock = new MP4SinkBlock(new MP4SinkSettings("output.mp4"));
pipeline.Connect(h264EncoderBlock.Output, mp4SinkBlock.CreateNewInput(MediaBlockPadMediaType.Video));
pipeline.Connect(aacEncoderBlock.Output, mp4SinkBlock.CreateNewInput(MediaBlockPadMediaType.Audio));

await pipeline.StartAsync();
