Please do not top post. Your reply should be placed below the text you are quoting. I don't quite understand. Are you trying to get the string "Input #0" into the output file? Perhaps you want to look at the -metadata option and give the streams you map some label of your choosing. Just be aware that not all formats support arbitrary metadata. _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-user mailing list ffmpeg-user@ffmpeg.org https://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-user To unsubscribe, visit link above, or email ffmpeg-user-requ...@ffmpeg.org with subject "unsubscribe".
