I have try this with vlc 6.0

/usr/local/bin/vlc -vvv --intf dummy jt-rtbf-Aug081060623000.ts --sout 
'#transcode{vcodec=mp4v,acodec=mp4a,vb=2000,ab=128,deinterlace}:std{mux="mp4",access="file",url="rtbf.mp4"}'
i get an mp4 file but without the audi track.
i have also try to replace the acodec with mp3 but it seem that vlc doesn't 
accept this acodec.

here is the output of vlc
