 Is it possible to combine the following three calls into one call instead?

ffmpeg -y -f concat -safe 0 -copyts -i videoList.txt -muxpreload 0 -muxdelay 0 
-c copy -b:a 128K -cpu-used 0 -preset slow -movflags +faststart -f mp4 
concat.mp4
Make one file out of ??? files. Does this also re-encode anything? (What are the input formats? see below)

ffmpeg -y -i concat.mp4 -itsoffset 1.9 -i concat.mp4 -c:a aac -c:v copy -map 
0:v:0 -map 1:a:0 -f mp4 audioFixed.mp4
Shift the audio a bit and re-mux.

ffmpeg -y -i audioFixed.mp4 -ss 2 -to 17 -c:v copy -c:a aac -f mp4 final.mp4
Select part of the now-shifted file.


Sometimes, there is no gain to creating more complex directives. In this case, it might reduce the amount of de/remux work, but the time-shift suggests pretty much means you're stuck with intermediate file(s). Might combine the 2nd and 3rd commands.

Since you only select 17 seconds from the output, you could add a 20 second limit to the first step, which would potentially make the intermediate files smaller. (Another thing we don't know.)

Consider using another _container_ type for the intermediate file(s) (e.g. nut, avi, or mkv, which can hold the mp4 data).

You could also, in the first pass, write to separate files for audio and video, which might simplify the shift/remux process and then apply the time-based selection to that (see https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/Creating%20multiple%20outputs).

Move the "faststart" to the last step since that's where it would matter (it gets in the way of piping, if used, and it adds a second file write pass).

I haven't yet tried any of this, and there's probably an error somewhere in there.

As usual, it really helps to see the command output so we know the file formats/etc.
