ffmpeg - ac3 to multiple outputs - audio

i want to only convert the audio of a video. The video file has one ac3 5.1 audio stream and i want to make 1 mp3 256k and one AC3 384k out of it.
currently my command looks like this:
.\ffmpeg.exe -i "file-in" -map 0:0 -map 0:1 -map 0:1 -c:v:0 copy -c:a:1 aac -bsf:a aac_adtstoasc -ac 2 -ar 48000 -ab 256k -c:a:1 ac3 -b:a 384k "file1-out"
any idea what im missing here?

Okay, i got it ;)
.\ffmpeg.exe -i "file-in" -map 0:0 -map 0:1 -map 0:1 -c:v:0 copy -c:a:0 aac -bsf:a:0 aac_adtstoasc -ac:a:0 2 -ar 48000 -b:a:0 256k -c:a:1 ac3 -ac:a:1 6 -b:a:1 384k "file-out"

FFmpeg to Azure Media Services Smooth Streaming Input

I would like to ask about ffmpeg config or command to to mp4 fragment to Azure Media Service live event using smooth streaming / isml protocol. The AMS is not getting any input yet from ffmpeg.
This is my current running command:
ffmpeg -f dshow -i video="Webcam" -movflags isml+frag_keyframe -f isml -r 10 http://endpoint/ingest.isml/streaming1
When I am using RTMP with Wirecast is running well.
Any suggestion on ffmpeg command with isml protocol?
Thank you
it is possibly the way you are formatting the ingest URL. The Smooth ingest protocol expects the name of /Streams(yourtrackname-identifier) after it.
See the Smooth ingest specification for details
Here is an FFMPEG command line that I had sitting around that worked for me on a Raspberry Pi at one time
ffmpeg -i /dev/video1 -pix_fmt yuv420p -f ismv -movflags isml+frag_keyframe -video_track_timescale 10000000 -frag_duration 2000000 -framerate 30 -r 30 -c:v h264_omx -preset ultrafast -map 0:v:0 -b:v:0 2000k -minrate:v:0 2000k -maxrate:v:0 2000k -bufsize 2500k -s:v:0 640x360 -map 0:v:0 -b:v:1 500k -minrate:v:1 500k -maxrate:v:1 500k -s:v:1 480x360 -g 60 -keyint_min 60 -sc_threshold 0 -c:a libfaac -ab 48k -map 0:a? -threads 0 "http://johndeu-nimbuspm.channel.mediaservices.windows.net/ingest.isml/Streams(video)"
Note that i used the following stream identifier - ingest.isml/Streams(video)
Here are a couple more commands that may help.

Replace mp4 file's audio with part of mp3 in ffmpeg

I have a around 30 minutes mp4 file and 1h30m mp3 file, let's say I need to replace mp4 file's audio with part of mp3 file, for example, starting from 30m00s.
I have used the following ffmpeg command which works for replacing the mp3 to mp4's audio but not specify the starting time.
How could I modify it? Thanks.
ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -i input.mp3 -map 0:0 -map 1:0 -c:v copy -c:a aac -b:a 256k -shortest output.mp4
Add -ss input option:
ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -ss 00:30:00 -i input.mp3 -map 0:v -map 1:a -c:v copy -c:a aac -b:a 256k -shortest -movflags +faststart output.mp4

Include audio from FFmpeg overlay in output

I'm using the following command to combine two video files together, overlaying the second one at a certain point in the first file. The result is what I want except the audio from the overlayed file is missing.
ffmpeg.exe -y -hide_banner -ss 00:00:00.067 -i promo.mov -i tag.mov -filter_complex "[1:v]setpts=PTS+6.5/TB[a];[0:v][a]overlay=enable=gte(t\,6.5)[out]" -map [out] -map 0:a -map 1:a -c:v mpeg2video -c:a pcm_s16le -ar 48000 -af loudnorm=I=-20:print_format=summary -preset ultrafast -q:v 0 -t 10 complete.mxf
Without the -map 0:a I get no audio at all, but the second -map 1:a does not pass the audio from -i tag.mov
I have also tried amix but that combines audio from both clips starting at the beginning, and I want the audio from the second file to begin when that file starts overlaying.
It would also be helpful if I could make the audio from the first clip drop lower at the time of the overlay.
amix doesn't support introducing an input mid-way, so the workaround is to add leading silence. You can use the adelay filter to do this.
make the audio from the first clip drop lower at the time of the overlay
This is possible using a sidechaincompressor which takes two inputs and lowers the volume of the first input based on the volume of the second input.
So use,
ffmpeg.exe -y -hide_banner -ss 00:00:00.067 -i promo.mov -i tag.mov -filter_complex "[1:v]setpts=PTS+6.5/TB[1v];[0:v][1v]overlay=enable=gte(t\,6.5)[vout];[1:a]adelay=6.5s,apad,asplit=2[1amix][1aref];[0:a][1aref]sidechaincompress[0asc];[0asc][1amix]amix=inputs=2:duration=first[aout]" -map [vout] -map [aout] -c:v mpeg2video -c:a pcm_s16le -ar 48000 -af loudnorm=I=-20:print_format=summary -preset ultrafast -q:v 0 -t 10 complete.mxf

Ffmpeg to duplicate an audio stream and encode this new stream

I have some video files that I need to re-encode due to compatibility issues. They are currently mkv files with h.264 video and ac3-a52 audio. I want to keep the h.264 video, convert the container to m4v and create two audio tracks, one with the original ac3-a52 and one copied from that but in aac stereo.
I assume there has to be some sort of audio stream mapping command but I don't know how to map and re-encode at the same time. What command should I enter into ffmpeg to achieve this?
Also, what is the difference between ac3 and ac3-a52? Will an apple TV still be able to pass through ac3-a52 or does that have to be converted to ac3?
this works for me:
ffmpeg -y -i Source.mkv -map 0:v -c:v copy -map 0:a -c:a copy -map 0:a -strict -2 -c:a aac out.mkv
-y – A global option to overwrite the output file if it already exists.
-map 0:v – Designate the video stream(s) from the first input as a source for the output file.
-c:v copy – Stream copy the video. This just muxes the input to the output. No re-encoding occurs.
-map 0:a – Designate the audio stream(s) from the first input as a source for the output file.
-c:a copy – Stream copy the audio. This just muxes the input to the output. No re-encoding occurs.
-strict -2 -c:a aac – Use the native FFmpeg AAC audio encoder. -strict -2 is required as a way that you acknowledge that the encoder is designated as experimental. It is not a great encoder, but it is not too bad at higher bitrates.
According to wikipedia, there is no difference between AC3 and ATSC A/52: the 1st one is the name of the codec, the 2nd is the name of the standard specifying the AC3 codec. Maybe someone have more knowledge about it?
I'm doing the same as the OP, but with an m4v container. I'm using the MacPorts "nonfree" variant of ffmpeg so that I can use libfaac, which gives better audio quality than the built-in AAC encoder and also had the same issue as #dkam. The command line I ended using is like this:
ffmpeg -i input.m4v -map 0:v -c:v copy -map 0:a -c:a:0 copy -map 0:a -c:a:1 libfaac output.m4v
(The videos are for playback on an iPad, which doesn't seem to be able to handle ac3.)
This command will take a video with 1 audio stream, and downmix to stereo and convert the audio stream and add it as a 2nd audio stream. It will be in AAC 384k.
ffmpeg -i INPUT.mkv -strict -2 -map 0 -c copy -map 0:a:0 -c:a:1 aac -b:a 384k -ac 2 OUTPUT.mkv
Explanation of the command
ffmpeg -i INPUT.mkv The application and input file
-strict -2 Enable downmixing support
-map 0 Tell ffmpeg read all Video, Audio, and Subtitle streams for the following arguments
-c copy Copy everything
-map 0:a:0 Tell ffmpeg to read the first audio stream for the following arguments
-c:a:1 aac Output the audio to a 2nd audio channel (0 = first channel) in aac format. Important! You must change the output channel to a higher number if there are multiple audio streams to prevent overwriting them.
-b:a 384k 384k bitrate (I don't know what's good for aac stereo but this is really high since it's for 5.1 aac)
-ac 2 Downmix to stereo
OUTPUT.mkv Output file
More examples
A video with two audio streams. Creating a third audio stream by encoding the first.
ffmpeg -i INPUT.mkv -strict -2 -map 0 -c copy -map 0:a:0 -c:a:2 aac -b:a 384k -ac 2 OUTPUT.mkv
Again a video with two audio streams, but you want to encode the second one
ffmpeg -i INPUT.mkv -strict -2 -map 0 -c copy -map 0:a:1 -c:a:2 aac -b:a 384k -ac 2 OUTPUT.mkv

ffmpeg stream offset command (-itsoffset) not working

I would really appreciate if someone could give some pointers regarding the use of itsoffset with ffmpeg. I have read a number of posts on this subject, some of them explain very clearly how to re-synchronize audio and video with -itsoffset, but I haven't been able to make it work.
My avi file is encoded with ffmpeg, in two passes, using the following command for the second pass:
ffmpeg -i whole-vts_01.avs -pass 2 -y -vcodec libxvid -vtag XVID -b:v 1300K -g 240 -trellis 2 -mbd rd -flags +mv4+aic -acodec ac3 -ac 2 -ar 48000 -b:a 128k output.avi
For whatever reason, I end up with a 1 sec delay in the video (or the audio is 1 sec early). It doesn't happen too often but I see it from time to time.
Among other attempts, I have tried the following:
(1) ffmpeg -i output.avi -itsoffset 00:00:01.0 -i output.avi -vcodec copy -acodec copy -map 0:0 -map 1:1 output-resynched.avi
(2) ffmpeg -i output.avi -itsoffset 00:00:01.0 -i output.ac3 -vcodec copy -acodec copy -map 0:0 -map 1:0 output-resynched2.avi
(3) ffmpeg -itsoffset -00:00:01.00 -i output.avi output-resynched8.avi
(4) ffmpeg -i output.avi -itsoffset -1.0 -i output.avi -vcodec copy -acodec copy -map 0:1 -map 1:0 output-resynched13.avi
Here are the results:
Audio garbled and only 5m 35 s long vs. 1h 41m.
(Output.ac3 is audio component of output.avi) Video and audio
identical to original, offset didn't work
Audio did get shifted, but original encoding parameters replaced with default ones (as expected).
Audio garbled and only 9m 56s long vs. 1h 41m.
I see that many people explain, and apparently use the process described above, but it doesn't seem to be working for me. Am I missing something obvious? I would very much like to be able to use -itsoffset as it is cleaner than my workaround solution.
FWIW, here is a different, and longer way of obtaining the desired result:
First create a shifted video only file using -ss:
ffmpeg -i output.avi -ss 1.0 -vcodec copy -an oupput_videoshifted.avi
Then extract the audio:
ffmpeg -i output.avi -vn -acodec copy outputaudioonly.ac3
And finally remux both components:
ffmpeg -i output_videoshifted.avi -i output_audioonly.ac3 -vcodec copy -acodec copy -map 0:0 -map 1:0 output-resynched14.avi
The process works, is fast enough, but I would really prefer to use the one pass -itsoffset solution.
Here is what I did and it work for me
The first input setting -i and the second input is come from the same one video file.
Delay 1 second in first input video and the second input audio just make a copy
ffmpeg -y -itsoffset 00:00:01.000 -i "d:\Video1.mp4" -i "d:\Video1.mp4"
-map 0:v -map 1:a -vcodec copy -acodec copy
-f mp4 -threads 2 -v warning "Video2.mp4"
Delay 1 second in second input audio and the first input video just make a copy
ffmpeg -y -i "d:\Video1.mp4" -itsoffset 00:00:01.000 -i "d:\Video1.mp4"
-map 0:v -map 1:a -vcodec copy -acodec copy
-f mp4 -threads 2 -v warning "Video2.mp4"
The problem is located on -vcodec copy -acodec copy because the shifting will only work on keyframes. I have had the same problem.
Just don't copy (audio/)video, try the thing with -itsoffset, but use
-vcodec libxvid -vtag XVID -b:v 1300K -g 240 -trellis 2 -mbd rd -flags +mv4+aic -acodec ac3 -ac 2 -ar 48000 -b:a 128k
for re-encoding. It should work.
