You absolutely can, this post is not about converting from TS to MP4, it’s just an example of how to do a multi step conversion or multiple-step process in MCEBuddy.
There are many reasons why you may want to do multi step conversions/processing. For example for some recordings, Comskip only works once the “black bars” from the video are removed. So the first step conversion would be to crop the black bars and the next step would be to run Comskip on the file.
Here are examples where a multi step conversion or processing may help:
Multiple Conversions?
CLI to only refresh metadata
Can MCEBuddy process an audio stream and then process the output of that process again?
Move Scheduling to the Task level
Allow Multiple Passes of ComSkip
