Are you sure that your external players support this? This feature was
only recently added to the standard, and its support is only
experimental in ffmpeg. (That said, my mpv plays it fine.)

You can do all that in one step, if your ffmpeg supports the opus or
the libopus encoder(s).

ffmpeg does have support. It will give you an error that it is
experimental if you don't add "-strict experimental" as an output
option.

Assuming you have H.264 in your input file:
ffmpeg -i inputfile -c:v copy -c:a libopus -strict experimental outputfile.mp4
