In fairness to ffmpeg, its manpage's not-tiny "EXAMPLES" section /does/ include a command that uses "-c copy" with the correct syntax also provided by Vangelis. They do try, they may just not always have a howto that fits exactly what you want so you have to look through a few. I've similarly found helpful the "EXAMPLES" section from manpages for related tools like mplayer. -- Mark _______________________________________________ get_iplayer mailing list get_iplayer@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/get_iplayer
