[FFmpeg-user] Problem converting from FLV to MP4

[Fernando Martinelli]

Hi Carl,

I appreciate your quick answer!

Let me explain the reason why I'm not doing it with the sound:

I have as inputs:

   - Video 1 FLV + Audio 1
   - Video 2 FLV + Audio 2

The output I want:

   - Video 1 MP4 + Audio 1 + Audio 2
   - Video 2 MP4 + Audio 1 + Audio 2

So what I do is:

   1. Extract the audios of both files with ffmpeg and merge them with SOX
   2. Convert Video 1 and Video 2 to MP4 with ffmpeg
   3. Merge Video 1 with the merged Audios and then Video 2 with the same
   merged audios

I'm only doing it this way because I *did not manage to map two audio
streams to one output* video using ffmpeg. I would like to ideally map one
audio stream to one channel (left) of the output and the other audio input
to the other channel (right). Is there a way to do it that I don't know of?

Danke sehr für deine Hilfe!
Viele Grüße,
Fernando

PS: The entire script is as follows (sorry but I can't paste the entire
output as it is huuuge - it has a lot of lines like this *invalid dropping
st:0** DTS 8520, next:10374000*...):

echo "Extracts sounds of video files"

$2$4"audio_interviewee.wav"
