Add audio to video using ffmpeg
2013-08
I'm trying to add sound to a video using ffmpeg, but for some reason, when I play the resulting file, it doesn't have any sound. I also tried doing it with an aac audio file, as well as leaving out -acodec copy
and giving it a wav file.
Here is the complete output:
C:\Users\SM-Audio\Desktop>ffmpeg -i PrintingCDs.mp4 -i AudioPrintCDs.mp3 -acodec
copy -vcodec copy PrintCDs1.mp4

By default, FFmpeg will only take one audio and one video stream. In your case that's taken from the first file only.
You need to map the streams correctly:
ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -i input.mp3 -c copy -map 0:0 -map 1:0 output.mp4
Here, 0:0
is the first stream of the first file and 1:0
is the first (and only) stream of the second file.
I have a video for which I'd like to convert the audio codec to AAC 320 kbps / 44.100 kHz. What would I use for ffmpeg switches such that all the video settings and codec remain the same, but only the audio codec and settings change?
Here's my video:

Seems stream 0 codec frame rate differs from container frame rate: 2000.00 (2000/1) -> 10.00 (10/1)

Many thanks in advance! One with with ffmpeg I've never been able to grok is how to just "tweak" files without having to regurgitate every little setting for things you don't want changes.
Hard to judge what you are doing, since the ffmpeg command was a bit garbled in your post.
To replace an audio track:
ffmpeg -i test.avi -i normalized.mp3 -map 0:0 -map 1:0 -vcodec copy -acodec copy new_test.avi
More information about the above parameters is found in: FFmpeg Documentation.
Why don't you use Handbrake which lets keep the video and change the audio and it is a GUI for FFmpeg and it works like a charm.
