FAQ

  • How to copy all streams of some media using ffmpeg
  • Preserve all streams of some media, while spliting media
  • Copy selected streams of media using ffmpeg

Generally media files has two streams, one for video and other one for audio, but when your media file has multiple streams, and you want to copy all those streams to some other media file when you trying to cut or split specific parts from media file.

Example 1

I have recorded some video using TechSmith CamTasia Studio, and it has more than two streams, and i wanna split this into multiple parts, so that i can easily edit in CamTasia Video Editor, and i am using ffmpeg for this.
