(I don't find this confusing either. And the docs/wiki seem to concentrate primarily on the "-c:X" variant.) To add to the absolutely perfect answer: You can also set a "default" method with an initial "-c", and more specific ones afterwards: $ ffmpeg [...] -c copy -c:s srt [...] will use "copy" for all stream types, except for subtitles. $ ffmpeg [...] -c:a copy -c:a:3 mp2 [...] will use "copy" for all audio streams except for the third (fourth!) audio stream.
