I have ffmpeg 5.0 installed on a new Silicon M1 Mac Mini running Monterey and concat is failing with the same command that has served me well on ffmpeg 4.1.1 lo, all these many years. Anyone have an idea why this command would fail on the newer version of ffmpeg. This is with the exact same mp4 files. The ffmpeg 4.1.1. completes the concat in less than a minute.
ffmpeg -i vid1.mp4 -i vid2.mp4 -filter_complex "[0:v:0] [0:a:0] [1:v:0] [1:a:0] concat=n=2:v=1:a=1 [v] [a]" -map "[v]" -map "[a]" output.mp4
Thank you!
