-Fuck-off those .WEBMs:+Fuck-off those .WEBMs. ''copy'' here copies those streams, so they're no reencoded, it's just changing the container:
  
 <code>ffmpeg -i [input].webm -acodec copy -vcodec copy [output].mkv</code> <code>ffmpeg -i [input].webm -acodec copy -vcodec copy [output].mkv</code>
 +
 +A more compact way is to use ''-c'', which will copy over all streams (there's also ''-c:a'' (audio) ''-c:v'' (video) ''-c:s'' (subtitles)…:
 +
 +<code>ffmpeg -i [input].webm -c copy [output].mkv</code>
 +
 +So if you wanted to copy the video stream and just reencode/change the audio, for example:
 +
 +<code>ffmpeg -i [input].[ext] -acodec aac -vcodec copy [output].[ext]</code>
