My GoPro camera records the videos in HEVC format and when I exported the videos on my PC, the Windows Media Player is unable to play the HEVC videos. So I thought it was a good practice to convert ....

Avidemux is an open-source program that serves as a reliable convert hevc to mp4. Its core stream copying feature allows you to repackage videos without re-encoding, thereby fully preserving the original video quality without any loss. It is undoubtedly the best choice.
How to Convert HEVC to MP4
- Download and install the software from the official website.
- Launch the software.
- Click File > Open, then select the target HEVC video file to load it.
- Set the video output option to Copy to enable lossless stream repackaging.
- Set the audio output option to Copy to preserve the original audio.
- Select MP4 as the final output format.
- Click File > Save > Save Video to export the finished MP4 file.
Disadvantages
- The program's overall interface looks outdated, and the layout is old-fashioned.
- There are no ready-made, one-click presets for beginners; all parameters must be set manually.
- Complex advanced editing features make it difficult for new users to learn.
This tool can directly encapsulate HEVC video data into a standard MP4 container without any loss of video quality. It is ideal for users who simply need to perform fast, lossless format conversions and basic, lightweight video editing on low-performance computers.
ps
- Copy mode works only when the original video and audio codecs are compatible with the MP4 container.
- If playback errors occur, switch the video output to re-encoding mode.
- You can load multiple HEVC files one by one for individual conversion; the software does not support native batch processing.
- To reduce file size, do not use copy mode; instead, select a specific encoder in the video output settings.
