here is what i have: input1.avi - video that contain sounds. input2.avi - video that doesn't contain sounds. music.mp3 - audio file.

i want to add background music(music.mp3 file) to the video.

C:\input1.avi -i C:\music.mp3 -shortest -c:v copy -c:a copy C:\output1.avi

then output1.avi is the same as input1 - movie with sounds but without the background music (music.mp3)

when i try to use the other file (video without sounds):

C:\input2.avi -i C:\music.mp3 -shortest -c:v copy -c:a copy C:\output2.avi

then output2.avi is the same as input2 + it have the background music.

so why input1 does not contain the background music??? and how can i decrease or increase the volume of music.mp3 file?

thanks.

When multiple streams are available, and no map is specified, ffmpeg picks one video and one audio stream from among the inputs.

Since you will likely need to re-encode audio, you can use

ffmpeg -i C:\input1.avi -i C:\music.mp3 -c:v copy \
       -filter_complex "[0:a]aformat=fltp:44100:stereo,apad[0a];[1]aformat=fltp:44100:stereo,volume=1.5[1a];[0a][1a]amerge[a]" \
       -map 0:v -map "[a]" -ac 2 C:\output1.avi

I tried this command seems to be working.

ffmpeg -i audio.mp3 -i input.mp4 -filter_complex "[0:a][1:a]amerge,pan=stereo|c0<c0+c2|c1<c1+c3[out]" -map 1:v -map "[out]" -c:v copy -shortest output.mp4

Things changed :

  1. Unknown encoder 'libfdk_aac'
  2. This syntax is deprecated. Use '|' to separate the list items ('stereo|c0<c0+c2|c1<c1+c3' instead of 'stereo|c0<c0+c2:c1<c1+c3')
