Can't get FFMPEG Script to Remux to MP4 with Wav, It instead remuxes to MKV

[VideoFanatic]

Here's my script:

for %%a in ("*.mkv") do (

"X:\Portable Installations\MKV Toolnix\mkvextract.exe" --ui-language en tracks "%%a" 0:"%%~na.h264" 1:"%%~na.gain0"

for %%b in ("*.gain0") do "X:\Portable Installations\ffmpeg\bin\ffmpeg.exe" -i "%%b" -vn -c:a copy -absf aac_adtstoasc "X:\Temp\gain.m4a"

"X:\Portable Installations\AAC Gain 1.9\aacgain.exe" -r -k -m 0 "X:\Temp\gain.m4a"

"X:\Portable Installations\ffmpeg\bin\ffmpeg.exe" -i "X:\Temp\gain.m4a" -map 0:0 -vn -c:a copy "%%~da%%~pa%%~na.aac"

for %%b in ("*.aac") do "X:\Portable Installations\ffmpeg\bin\ffmpeg.exe" -i "%%b" -vn -c:a pcm_s16le -ac 2 -ar 48000 -f wav "%%~nb.wav"



for %%a in ("*.wav") do if exist "%%~na.mp4" ffmpeg.exe -i "%%~na.mp4" -i "%%a" -map 0:v -map 1:a -c:v copy -c:a copy -y "NEW-%%~na.mp4"



del "*.gain0"
del "*.h264"
del "*.aac"
del "*.wav"
del "X:\Temp\gain.m4a"

)

"X:\Sounds\VideoRedo Completed Sound Short.WAV"

pause

The bold line above is taking the following 2 files and muxing them into an MKV file:

filename.wav
filename.h264

The script ends up making an MKV with AAC instead of an MP4 with Wav. If I move the "del" aac line after the underlined line above then NO MP4 is made.

It seems ffmpeg doesn't like creating MP4 files with Wav because Wav isn't part of the MP4 spec? Yet Adobe Premier and social media sites accept MP4 with Wav.

WAV is not supported in mp4

At the end of your script; this should work.

del *.gain0 *.h264 *.aac *.wav X:\Temp\gain.m4a

for %%a in ("*.wav") do if exist "%%~na.mp4" ffmpeg.exe -i "%%~na.mp4" -i "%%a" -map 0:v -map 1:a -c:v copy -c:a copy -y "NEW-%%~na.mp4"

Should that line end in .mkv

"X:\Portable Installations\ffmpeg\bin\ffmpeg.exe" -i "X:\Temp\gain.m4a" -map 0:0 -vn -c:a copy "%%~da%%~pa%%~na.aac"

.m4a files can just be renamed. At least that's what I do with tracks out of Audacity, which uses ffmpeg.

ren *.m4a *.aac

Cheers.

@VideoFanatic.
To boost audio this is what I've used for several years.

https://github.com/lordmulder/DynamicAudioNormalizer

It can be stand alone, but the library is compiled into most recent editions of ffmpeg.
I've always thought it good value.

Some more info.
https://www.videohelp.com/software/Dynamic-Audio-Normalizer.

I've cobbled this together.
The batch file runs ffmpeg against all MKV & MP4 videos in a folder and subfolders.
The Destination root path needs to be set. It's lines 5 & 6 in the batch file.
It can be the same drive, different path. For safety' sake.

WARNING: There may be bugs.

Cheers.
