Can I remove audio from MP4 files

Question

A client wants to send raw broll to the customer but wants to remove the camera audio track.

Is there a way to do that for hundreds of files without adding a layer of decompression/compression?

Almost like copying the files without audio?

I know it's a shot in the dark.

As an alternative, is there a way to make sure the recompresed video is as identical to the original as possile?

Thanks for any help.

There is not a way to do this with MP4 files in Media Encoder. There are some formats of video that support our smart rendering option (https://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-pro/using/smart-rendering.html) but MP4 is not one of them.

The Handbrake application should be able to do this for you or, if you had some scripting knowledge, you could do it using ffmpeg, via the vcodec copy parameters.
