UPDATE: I think I got it:
ffmpeg -i my_cool_video_arrr.mkv -vcodec copy -acodec aac my_cool_video_arrr2.mkv
It's running now. We'll see if it works. :D
IT WORKED! :D
Love me some ffmpeg ;)
------------------------------
Hey #ffmpeg ninjas,
I have a video file that plays in #mpv on my laptop, but on my TV, there's no sound.
Can anyone suggest an ffmpeg command to copy the video without changes but convert the audio track to something more compatible?
Here's the relevant parts of the ffprobe output:
[matroska,webm @ 0x3cf4ea627280] Could not find codec parameters for stream 2 (Subtitle: hdmv_pgs_subtitle (pgssub)): unspecified size
