Hi Vittal, what you want do do is called multiplexing after you have demultiplexed/seperated your video- and audiotrack from a stream.
https://superuser.com/questions/429643/how-can-i-multiplex-a-video-and-audio-stream

ffmpeg can do demultiplexing-> conversion of audio track-> multiplexing A+V in one step with

ffmpeg -i INPUTFILE.mp4 -map 0:v -c:v libx264 -map 0:a -c:a libopus OUTPUTFILE.mp4

INPUTFILE means your original input.mp4 (sample.mp4). Be aware that you're loosing quality when converting your audio track from one format (aac) into the other lossy format (opus).... if you're not planning to do something special with the opus-track, just leave it as it is with copy.... -map 0:a -c:a copy

regards adi
