Ffmpeg command results in output contains no video stream error

I'm trying to execute the following command:

ffmpeg -hide_banner -loglevel warning -progress -i E:\TEMP\mtc\input\sample2.mp4 -acodec mp3 -vcodec libx265 -r 60 -vf "scale=2560:1440" -b:v 35000k -f matroska E:\TEMP\mtc\input\output\result.mkv

This results in error: Output file #0 does not contain any stream

The input file exists and can be accessed by ffmpeg. I'm working on Windows 10 with latest version of FFmpeg.

Solution

  • Fixed by adding - after -progress ffmpeg -hide_banner -loglevel warning -progress - -i E:\TEMP\mtc\input\sample2.mp4 -acodec mp3 -vcodec libx265 -r 60 -vf "scale=2560:1440" -b:v 35000k -f matroska "E:\TEMP\mtc\input\output\result.mkv"
