You can create a packaging task to convert the container format of a video file stored in an OBS bucket without changing its resolution and bitrate.

An input video file has been uploaded to an OBS bucket. MPC is used in the same region as the OBS bucket. If the video file has not been uploaded, upload it by referring to Uploading Media Files.
MPC has been authorized to access the buckets that store the input file and output file. If MPC has not been authorized, authorize MPC by referring to Authorizing Access to Cloud Resources.
If you want to receive the task status updates, configure the event notifications function. For details, see Configuring Event Notifications.
