Keep original video and change only audio codec

Postby carlos_am_2003 » 18 Aug 2023 22:02

Hello!

I have a video file (avc video and ac3 audio). I need, using command line, convert only the audio to aac. How can I do this?

Using ffmpeg we have vcodec=copy but how we can do this using VLC command line?

I tried:

Code: Select all

--sout="#transcode{vcodec=dump,acodec=aac,ab=128,channels=2,samplerate=48000}
and

Code: Select all

--sout="#transcode{vcodec=keep,acodec=aac,ab=128,channels=2,samplerate=48000}
and

Code: Select all

--sout="#transcode{vcodec=copy,acodec=aac,ab=128,channels=2,samplerate=48000}
Help me please!

Don't specify a video codec at all.
