EXAMPLES
ꟷꟷꟷꟷꟷꟷꟷꟷꟷꟷꟷꟷꟷꟷꟷꟷꟷꟷꟷꟷꟷꟷꟷꟷꟷꟷꟷꟷꟷꟷꟷꟷꟷꟷꟷꟷꟷꟷꟷꟷꟷꟷ
❶ Replaces the original audio, keeps the original video, keeps the original subtitles, addressing the streams per types (audio, video, …)
→ ffmpeg -i input_new.mkv -i input_old.mkv -map 0:v:0 -map 1:a:0 -map 0:s output01.mkv
with:
-i input_new.mkv = Reads file «input_new.mkv» and …
-i input_old.mkv = … file «input_old.mkv»…
-map 0:v:0 = … copying from the 1st (0) input file (i.e. input_new.mkv): the 1st (0) video (v) stream, …
-map 1:a:0 = … from the 2nd (1) input file (i.e. input_old.mkv): the 1st (0) audio (a) stream …
-map 0:s = … and from the first (0) input file (i.e. input_new.mkv): all the subtitles (s) streams…
output01.mkv = … and outputs the result to file «output01.mkv»
❷ Replaces the subtitles, keeps the original audio, keeps the original video, addressing the streams per position
→ ffmpeg -i input_new.mkv -i input_old.mkv -map 0:0 -map 0:1 -map 1:2 output02.mkv
with:
-i input_new.mkv = Reads file «input_new.mkv» and …
-i input_old.mkv = … file «input_old.mkv»…
-map 0:0 = … copying from the 1st (0) input file (i.e. input_new.mkv): the 1st stream (0) (i.e. the video stream), …
-map 0:1 = … from the 1st (0) input file (i.e. input_new.mkv): the 2nd stream (1) (i.e. the audio stream), …
-map 1:2 = … and from the second (1) input file (i.e. input_old.mkv): the third (2) stream (i.e. the subtitle)…
output02.mkv = … and outputs the result to file «output02.mkv»
❸ Replaces the audio, adds an extra subtitle, keeps the original video, addressing the streams per types (audio, video, …)
→ ffmpeg -i input_new.mkv -i input_old.mkv -map 0:v:0 -map 1:a:0 -map 0:s:1 -map 1:s:0 -map 0:s:0 output03.mkv
with:
-i input_new.mkv = Reads file «input_new.mkv» and …
-i input_old.mkv = … file «input_old.mkv»…
-map 0:v:0 = … copying from the 1st (0) input file (i.e. input_new.mkv): the 1st (0) video (v) stream, …
-map 1:a:0 = … from the 2nd (1) input file (i.e. input_old.mkv): the 1st (0) audio (a) stream …
-map 0:s:1 = … from the 1st (0) input file (i.e. input_new.mkv): the 2nd (1) subtitle stream (s), …
-map 1:s:0 = … from the 2nd (1) input file (i.e. input_old.mkv): the 1st (0) subtitle stream (s) …
-map 0:s:0 = … from the 1st (0) input file (i.e. input_new.mkv): the 1st (0) subtitle stream (s) …
output03.mkv = … and outputs the result to file «output03.mkv»
