I have videos which code and format is h.264. I need to transform this videos to mpeg2 format (the same codec: h.264). Everything I try doesn't work... Any idea? I think it can be done with ffmpeg.

Thank you.

MPEG-1 system format (-f mpeg option, .mpg file extension) does not support h.264 video streams. There are MPEG-2 Transport Stream (-f mpegts) and MPEG-2 Program Stream (PS) (e.g -f dvd and -f vob) container formats that do. The conversion command will look like the following: 

ffmpeg -i input_video -vcodec copy -f vob output_video.vob

Run ffmpeg -formats for a list of supported container formats. See also Comparison of container formats.
