The example reads as follows:
ffmpeg -i multichannel.mxf -map 0:v:0 -map 0:a:0 -map 0:a:0 -c:a:0 ac3 -b:a:0
640k -ac:a:1 2 -c:a:1 aac -b:2 128k out.mp4
In the above example, a multichannel audio stream is mapped twice for
output. The
first instance is encoded with codec ac3 and bitrate 640k. The second
instance is
downmixed to 2 channels and encoded with codec aac. A bitrate of 128k is
specified
for it using absolute index of the output stream.
We see the second audio stream appearing as in “-ac:a:1" and “-c:a:1” and the
set of options is capped with the absolute index for the stream number 2
written as “-b:2”. However the second manual mapping option is “-map 0:a:0” in
the example. Shouldn’t it have been “-map 0:a:1”? Prior to the example we don’t
know anything about how many streams are in the output and input files. If
there’re more than 1 then it’s logical to assume that audio-stream number 1 is
encoded with ac3, while the other one is set to be made as a 2-channel encoded
with aac.
Does all above mean that the correct command line should’ve been
“ffmpeg -i multichannel.mxf -map 0:v:0 -map 0:a:0 -map 0:a:1 -c:a:0 ac3 -b:a:0
640k -ac:a:1 2 -c:a:1 aac -b:2 128k out.mp4”?
Kindest regards,
Elijah
