Ffmpeg-python : copying codec from input to output stream showing error

See original GitHub issue

I am trying to convert an MP4 file to mkv by copying the codecs … ffmpeg equivalent is ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -c copy out.mkv

I tried this using the code:

Input='in.mp4' Output=ffmpeg.output(in , 'out.mkv',acodec='copy',vcodec='copy')

But this line is raising a Type error :

raise TypeError( TypeError: Expected incoming stream(s) to be of one of the following types: ffmpeg.nodes.FilterableStream; got <class 'str'>
