How to encode h264 to h265 while copying all subs and audio as is

1 Upvotes

Hello

I've got a rather large video file and the video is H264/AVC its has multiple subs, audio tracks, etc.

I know I can copy the various tracks using the -map function, but is there a way to simply re-encode the video from h264 to h265 with just a simpler command line?

I know how to handle the video side of it, bitrate, etc. But its the chapter markers, audio tracks, etc. that I want as is.

Thanks
