====== ffmpeg - Remove video/audio streams by language ======

Use the map command to remove streams from media files.

  * The stream index begins at 0, so, for example, to remove the first stream in the file you would use -map -0:0, to remove the second stream you'd use -map -0:1:

<code bash>
ffmpeg -i "input.mkv" -map 0 -map -0:1 -c copy "output.mkv"
</code>

<WRAP info>
**NOTE:**  The minus sign in front of the -0:1 is what counts as a removal.

  * To retain that map, remove that minus sign, so it becomes 0:1.
