# Media::Convert::Asset::Profile::copy(3pm)

Profile that merely copies all data, unmodified.

## NAME

Media::Convert::Asset::Profile::copy - Profile that merely copies all data, unmodified.

## SYNOPSIS

```
  use Media::Convert::Asset;
  use Media::Convert::Asset::ProfileFactory;
  use Media::Convert::Pipe;
  my $input = Media::Convert::Asset->new(url => $input_filename);
  my $profile = Media::Convert::Asset::ProfileFactory->create("copy", $input);
  my $output = Media::Convert::Asset->new(url => "$output_basename." . $profile->exten, reference => $profile);
  Media::Convert::Pipe->new(inputs => [$input], output => $output)->run();
```

## DESCRIPTION

The `"copy"` profile copies the input video into the output container, without any re-encoding.

It only works in one of the following conditions:

- •

  the video codec is VP9 and the audio codec is opus (the extension will be .webm)

- •

  the video codec is VP8 and the audio codec is vorbis (the extension will be .webm)

- •

  the video codec is H.264 and the audio codec is AAC (the extension will be .mp4)

All other cases are currently unsupported (but could be added if required).

The `"copy"` profile has the exact same effect as using the "vcopy" in Media::Convert::Pipe and "acopy" in Media::Convert::Pipe options on `"Media::Convert::Pipe"`, but is expressed as a profile.
