Re: Camera .MOV to .mp4 or .AVI _ Your Considerations?

You can use ffmpeg to just change the container and not re-encode the video, this will be done at the same speed as copying a file. Google  for how to stream copy. And go with matroska container format it is more likely to support a potential weird codec because it is much more flexible than MP4. (I hope I understand correctly that your playback software reads MKV files)
