I'd start looking at http://www.videohelp.com and http://www.doom9.org. The container format is likely MPEG4 so I am thinking you'll you need to demux (separate) the streams (h.264 video and any audio) and then remux them into the AVI or MKV container formats. Doing it that way will preserve the quality.

The only tool that comes to mind atm is Videora it will re-encode so there will be a reduction in quality.

Whish I had the link to give...
The program I use is alltoavi, does just about all that you want
will strip(h264,mkv,ogg,acc)or add as needed and will allow you to
run batches to do a whole directory. Program was made for ppl that have older macs/windows that want to watch there anime

Alternitivly, you could pay to get a decent quality program known as "Video Cleaner" by River Past. Its $29.39US. (Course, if you know where to look, you can skip paying

). It will convert virtually any video format into another. They also have tutorials on their website showing you how to do it.

You will still need to demux the video (I suggest Virtualdubmod, which is free).

How ever, doing anything to already compressed media (Be it audio or video), you will always suffer some loss in quality, since you are making a copy of a copy, which eventually degrades every time you do it.

My question to you is: Why convert it from h264? That format is generally known for being of superior quality.
