Muxing/DeMuxing! What is it?
Muxing is the act of combining two or more signals into one. In the digital media file world, this means combining a video track, one or more audio tracks, and possibly subtitle tracks.
Demuxing is the act of taking a muxed file such as a VOB or M2TS file and splitting it back up into its component streams. Demuxing is useful in situations where you want to deal with a specific component of a media file without affecting the file as a whole. Imagine that you want to compress a media file but you don't want to lose any of the audio quality. So you demux the original media file, compress just the video file using your favorite program, and then mux the compressed video track with the original audio track. Now you have a smaller file size, while still retaining the original audio.
