FFMPEG - Difference between "-ab" and "-b:a"

As far as i know both Commandline Args change the Audio Bitrate, but ime not exactly sure because i have also seen them in combination. Basically i couldn't find any Documentation that explains both of these Commands. It could also be that -ab got replaced with -b:a but ime not exactly sure.

Solution

  • There is no difference. -ab is the legacy option name and is an alias for -b:a.
