I have a folder full of videos which all have 2 audio tracks and I want to remove the first one from each of them.

So I need to run:

ffmpeg -i [filename] -map 0:0 -map 0:2 -acodec copy -vcodec copy temp.mp4

mv temp.mp4 [filename]

on every file in that folder.

What have you tried so far? The thing you are looking for is called for loop in bash.
