Streams are mixed when using -filter_complex amerge in FFmpeg

I am having problems with ffmpeg and one of its filters.

I am trying to combine 2 audio video streams into one. for that i tried this command:

ffmpeg -i /home/maniaplanet/Videos/ManiaPlanet\ 2014-08-21\ 20-09-13-082.avi.output.mkv -filter_complex "[0:1][0:2] amerge=inputs=2"-c:v copy -c:a libvo_aacenc -b:a 256k /var/www/files/output.mp4

But I am getting this output:

  amerge -> Stream #0:0 (libvo_aacenc)
  Stream #0:0 -> #0:1 (copy)
Error while opening encoder for output stream #0:0 - maybe incorrect parameters such as bit_rate, rate, width or height

I think the important part is at the bottom:

Stream mapping:
  Stream #0:1 (mp3) -> amerge:in0
  Stream #0:2 (mp3) -> amerge:in1
  amerge -> Stream #0:0 (libvo_aacenc)
  Stream #0:0 -> #0:1 (copy)

It displays the video stream as the second stream and the audio becomes the first. How to solve this? -map

did not help. (Maybe I was just using it wrong)

Example

ffmpeg -i input -filter_complex "[0:a:0][0:a:1] amerge=inputs=2 [a]" \
-map [0:v] -map "[a]" -c:v copy -c:a libfdk_aac -ac 2 -b:a 128k output.mp4


Notes

  • Your result in your question contained 4 channels of audio, but I'm assuming you really wanted to downgrade it to stereo. You can do this with the pan audio filter or -ac 2

    as shown above. See FFmpeg Audio Channel Manipulation: 2 × stereo → stereo for an example using panning.

  • As you may have guessed, you can control the display with -map

    . The display order can determine the output of the output display.

  • libfdk_aac is the best AAC encoder supported ffmpeg

    and libvo_aacenc is the worst. I switched to libfdk_aac since your build supports it and it will slow down the transfer rate and still sounds good. See the FFmpeg AAC Encoding Guide .

  • I changed the filtering input from [0:1]

    to [0:a:0]

    which means " first input:audio stream type:first (audio) stream

    ". In this case, it maps to the same stream, but that allows you to be a little lazy.

  • You can add -movflags +faststart

    if your viewers will watch this through progressive loading in a browser. It will move the moov atom from the end of the file to the beginning so that playback starts with less expectation from the viewer.
