If I wanted to add a title to my video here is the command: ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -metadata title="The video titile" -c copy output.mp4Īs i used copy no encoding was done and this process happened instantly. With X being the type of metadata being added, you can find this information in the tables below. Using FFmpeg to add this metadata to a media file is a simple task.

You can also use the -an and -sn flags in the same manner to strip out audio and subtitle streams. Then go to inside the folder where you have audio and video file. ffmpeg -i input.mkv -vn audioonly.ogg This command extracts only the audio from the input, encodes it as Vorbis, and saves it into audioonly.ogg.


Open command promt (windows+R -> Cmd+Enter). Depending on a video or audio container it can store various metadata or information like title, description, year, author, episode, album, track etc. The -map option makes ffmpeg only use the first video stream from the first input and the first audio stream from the second input for the output file.
