[FFmpeg-user] Strange mapping/tagging/stream correlation behavior

Hi,

Those number should mean -c:a:file-index:stream-index. The stream-index
were out of the input-files/streams.

Oh, does that mean that the documentation under "2. Description" ("To refer to
input files in options, you must use their indices (0-based). E.g. the
first input
file is 0, the second is 1 etc. Similarly, streams within a file are
referred to by
their indices. E.g. 2:3 refers to the fourth stream in the third input
file. See also
the Stream specifiers chapter.") shouldn't be understood for all options?

So I guess then that the right codec options have to placed right
after the input
file they refer to? Have to try this.

That's what I did and understood, but as you can see from my example it didn't
work.
