Can you avoid sound transcoding?

[sheppy99]

Is there any way to avoid sound transcoding when converting from MPEG2 Video / MP2 Sound TS to H264 Video / MP2 Sound MKV if the bitrate? I'm guessing just setting the sound format the same as the source doesn't do it?

The MKV muxer supports MP2 audio in conjunction with H.264 video. If the source file has MP2 audio then just select the H.264 MKV profile and leave the audio format as "Auto" and the audio will not be recoded.

Thanks for the prompt response, will give it a go next time I convert something.
