If you want to extract a specific scene (e.g., the "Invisible Man" fight), you can trim the file without re-encoding to make the process nearly instantaneous. for ($i=1; $i -le 8; $i++) $ep =
The Boys often features multi-language support. FFmpeg can selectively "map" these tracks. : Use -map 0:v -map 0:a:0 -map 0:s:0
: Use -map 0:v -map 0:a:0 -map 0:s:0 to keep only the first video, first audio, and first subtitle track.
If you want to apply a command to every episode in Season 1 at once, use a bash loop (Mac/Linux) or a for loop in Windows Command Prompt.
If you only need a specific clip (e.g., Billy Butcher's best lines) without re-encoding (which saves time and preserves quality), use stream copying.
