The ''mapping-options'' allow the specification of which streams from whicn input file(s) are mapped onto which streams in the output file(s). These are only necessary if FFmpeg can't figure out the right thing to do.

-Generate a static background suitable for a non-animated [DVD-Video|DVDVideo] menu. This takes a single still frame (probably best to stick to [JPEG] format, certainly [PNG] didn't work) and turns it into an [MPEG]-2 output movie with a silent soundtrack. The movie is of one-second duration, which is sufficient because it can be set to loop during the DVD authoring process:

-Fix audio/video sync in a movie: in this example, 64 seconds (determined by trial and error while observing lip sync) was trimmed from the start of the audio track. The video track happens to come first in the list; the source movie is specified twice, once with the appropriate offset applied, and the <tt>-map</tt> option is used to select the appropriate audio and video streams to combine into the output movie: the first <tt>-map</tt> specification says that the first (video) output stream is to come from the first stream of the second input file (stream 1.), while the second <tt>-map</tt> specification says that the second (audio) output stream is to come from the second stream of the first input file (stream .1). Note the use also of <tt>-vcodec copy</tt> and <tt>-acodec copy</tt> to ensure that no re-encoding of audio or video data takes place:
