To add a second audio track to a video having already one audio, I tried
$ ffmpeg -i 1.mp4 -i 2.m4a -map 0 -map 1:a -c:v copy -shortest __out.mp4
Could not find tag for codec none in stream #2, codec not currently supported in container
Could not write header for output file #0 (incorrect codec parameters ?): Invalid argument
From here, I added the -v option:
ffmpeg -i 1.mp4 -i 2.m4a -map 0 -map 1:av -c:v copy -shortest __out.mp4
Stream map '1:v' matches no streams.
The file 2.m4a has the correct audio. How to fix this?
What happens if you try to just copy everything?
[edit] Also, see if removing timecode data stream (#0:2) from the first file:
ffmpeg -i 1.mp4 -i 2.m4a -map 0 -map -0:2 -map 1:a -c copy -shortest __out.mp4
Yes we think the issue is #0:20x3 and solved it like this:
ffmpeg -i in.mp4 -i inAudio.m4a -map 0 -c:v copy -map 1:a:0 -c:a copy -dn _new.mp4
How can I create a MP4 file with ffmpeg out of a M2V-Video-File and two WAV-Files (one file for the right audio channel and one for the left audio channel)?
try this:
ffmpeg -i video.m2v -i audio1.wav -i audio2.wav -c:v copy -c:a aac -map 0:v:0 -filter_complex "[1:a][2:a]join=inputs=2:channel_layout=stereo[a]" -map "[a]" output.mp4
I believe mp4 files cannot contain PCM audio, hence converting to aac.
I used a command like:
ffmpeg -i video.avi -i audio.mp3 -vcodec codec -acodec codec output_video.avi -newaudio
in latest version for adding new audio track to video (not mix).
But I updated the ffmpeg to the newest version (ffmpeg version git-2012-06-16-809d71d) and now in this version the parameter -newaudio doesn't work.
Tell me please how I can add new audio to my video (not mix) using ffmpeg.
Replace audio
ffmpeg -i video.mp4 -i audio.wav -map 0:v -map 1:a -c:v copy -shortest output.mp4
The -map option allows you to manually select streams / tracks. See FFmpeg Wiki: Map for more info.
This example uses -c:v copy to stream copy (mux) the video. No re-encoding of the video occurs. Quality is preserved and the process is fast.
If your input audio format is compatible with the output format then change -c:v copy to -c copy to stream copy both the video and audio.
If you want to re-encode video and audio then remove -c:v copy / -c copy.
The -shortest option will make the output the same duration as the shortest input.
Add audio
ffmpeg -i video.mkv -i audio.mp3 -map 0 -map 1:a -c:v copy -shortest output.mkv
The -map option allows you to manually select streams / tracks. See FFmpeg Wiki: Map for more info.

Mixing/combining two audio inputs into one
Use video from video.mkv. Mix audio from video.mkv and audio.m4a using the amerge filter:
ffmpeg -i video.mkv -i audio.m4a -filter_complex "[0:a][1:a]amerge=inputs=2[a]" -map 0:v -map "[a]" -c:v copy -ac 2 -shortest output.mkv
See FFmpeg Wiki: Audio Channels for more info.
Generate silent audio
You can use the anullsrc filter to make a silent audio stream. The filter allows you to choose the desired channel layout (mono, stereo, 5.1, etc) and the sample rate.
ffmpeg -i video.mp4 -f lavfi -i anullsrc=channel_layout=stereo:sample_rate=44100 \
-c:v copy -shortest output.mp4

Combine two audio streams into one
FFmpeg Wiki: Audio Channel Manipulation
FFmpeg mux video and audio from another video
mp3 music to wav
ffmpeg -i music.mp3 music.wav
truncate to fit video
ffmpeg -i music.wav -ss 0 -t 37 musicshort.wav
mix music and video
ffmpeg -i musicshort.wav -i movie.avi final_video.avi
If the input video has multiple audio tracks and you need to add one more then use the following command:
ffmpeg -i input_video_with_audio.avi -i new_audio.ac3 -map 0 -map 1 -codec copy output_video.avi
-map 0 means to copy (include) all streams from the first input file (input_video_with_audio.avi) and -map 1 means to include all streams (in this case one) from the second input file (new_audio.ac3).
None of these solutions quite worked for me. My original audio was being overwritten, or I was getting an error like "failed to map memory" with the more complex 'amerge' example. It seems I needed -filter_complex amix.
ffmpeg -i videowithaudioyouwanttokeep.mp4 -i audiotooverlay.mp3 -vcodec copy -filter_complex amix -map 0:v -map 0:a -map 1:a -shortest -b:a 144k out.mkv
Nothing quite worked for me (I think it was because my input .mp4 video didn't had any audio) so I found this worked for me:
ffmpeg -i input_video.mp4 -i balipraiavid.wav -map 0:v:0 -map 1:a:0 output.mp4
This shows how to merge all audio tracks into one entire directory with ffmpeg:
ffmpeg -i video.mp4 -i audio.mp3 -map 0:v -map 1:a -c:v copy -shortest output.mp4
Here is how I did what the OP wanted.
My setup is I have two stream of media one video (with its own audio channel) & one audio. I am not converting from but I am restreaming live source by integrating it with an additional audio channel without replacing the old audio from the video stream.
Here is the code I used.
ffmpeg -i "Video stream with its own audio" -i "another audio stream" -map 0:v -map 0:a -map 1:a -shortest -f mpegts "multicast udp stream out put"
what the code does is, it maps each video and audio channels after it acquired the streams from the live source. -map 0:v is the video stream, -map 0:a is the audio that is coming from the video source (notice the 0s from the -map) and finally -map 1:a which is the audio stream from the second source.
then it just restreams it using mpegts through a multicast address. You can change this to a file, a unicast stream or any other supported output format.
Here is the code I am using.
ffmpeg -i "rtp://#231.0.0.208:1234" -i "rtp://#231.0.0.206:1234" -map 0:v -map 0:a -map 1:a -shortest -f mpegts "udp://#231.0.0.45:1234"
Hope this helps some one. Thanks!
If you are using an old version of FFMPEG and you cant upgrade you can do the following:
ffmpeg -i PATH/VIDEO_FILE_NAME.mp4 -i PATH/AUDIO_FILE_NAME.mp3 -vcodec copy -shortest DESTINATION_PATH/NEW_VIDEO_FILE_NAME.mp4
Notice that I used -vcodec
Code to add audio to video using ffmpeg.
If audio length is greater than video length it will cut the audio to video length.
If you want full audio in video remove -shortest from the cmd.
String[] cmd = new String[]{"-i", selectedVideoPath,"-i",audiopath,"-map","1:a","-map","0:v","-codec","copy", ,outputFile.getPath()};
private void execFFmpegBinaryShortest(final String[] command) {
final File outputFile = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getAbsolutePath()+"/videoaudiomerger/"+"Vid"+"output"+i1+".mp4");
String[] cmd = new String[]{"-i", selectedVideoPath,"-i",audiopath,"-map","1:a","-map","0:v","-codec","copy","-shortest",outputFile.getPath()};
try {
ffmpeg.execute(cmd, new ExecuteBinaryResponseHandler() {
#Override
public void onFailure(String s) {
System.out.println("on failure----"+s);
}
#Override
public void onSuccess(String s) {
System.out.println("on success-----"+s);
}
#Override
public void onProgress(String s) {
//Log.d(TAG, "Started command : ffmpeg "+command);
System.out.println("Started---"+s);
}
#Override
public void onStart() {
//Log.d(TAG, "Started command : ffmpeg " + command);
System.out.println("Start----");
}
#Override
public void onFinish() {
System.out.println("Finish-----");
}
});
} catch (FFmpegCommandAlreadyRunningException e) {
// do nothing for now
System.out.println("exceptio :::"+e.getMessage());
}
}
The marked answer does not set the audio track's language.
The following is an example that specifies German for the default audio track (the video's only audio channel) and English for the audio track that is added anew:
ffmpeg -i "/dir/video.mkv" -i "/dir2/audio.ac3" -map 0 -map 1:a -c:v copy -shortest -metadata:s:a:0 language=ger -metadata:s:a:0 title="GER" -metadata:s:a:1 language=eng -metadata:s:a:1 title="ENG" "/dir/output.mkv"
(The s:a:0 starts counting from 0, adjust that number as needed. If the audio track language is already specified, you don't need to set it and would only need to set it for the audio track that you add.)
How can I loop audio wave or mp3 file into a video which has no any audio channel using ffmpeg?
that is my code already working for video files which has already audio channel.
ffmpeg -i somevideoinput.mp4 -stream_loop -1
-i will_be_looped.wav
-vcodec copy
-max_muxing_queue_size 9999
-shortest
-fflags +shortest -max_interleave_delta 200M
-map 0:0 -map 1:0
output.mp4
that replaces the video's auido channel with looped input wave file. but it does not work if video has no any audio channel already.
do you any idea? maybe some filter_complex parameters I gotto add?
-stream_loop is an input option, so it has to be used before -i:
ffmpeg -i somevideoinput.mp4 -stream_loop -1 -i will_be_looped.wav
-vcodec copy
-max_muxing_queue_size 9999
-shortest
-fflags +shortest -max_interleave_delta 200M
-map 0:v -map 1:a
output.mp4
I also changed the -map options to use stream specifiers to ensure that it selects the proper streams.
I am processing my movie in ffmpeg (file merging, stabilization). The resulting metadata file gets an x264 codec. What prevents it from being reprocessed?
I decided to remove the codec using the Internet.
script:
ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -c copy -map 0 -metadata creation_time="2017-09-18 13:30:04" output.mp4
ffmpeg -i output.mp4 -vcodec copy -acodec copy -vbsf h264_changesps=removesei -map_metadata -1 out.mp4
pause
Unfortunately it does not work:
Unknown bitstream filter h264_changesps
What am I doing wrong?
