And the formatting makes the ffprobe output difficult to read. If you (the
OP) is posting in HTML, turn that off and stick to plain text.

If I understand the question-
there is a container holding multiple input streams and you want those
streams to go into a stream-capable output container. Yes?

Or is this question of copying metadata/stream names to the output container?

Examples of commands you've tried along with the full output would clarify
things.

Thank you for the quick responses.

Let me give a much simplified example of what I hoped to achieve. I have two 
movie files that each contain a video stream and an audio stream: movie1.mp4 
and movie2.mp4. I merge both into a single MKV container with ffmpeg:

ffmpeg -i movie1.mp4 -i movie2.mp4 -map 0:v -map 0:a -map 1:v -map 1:a -c copy 
combined.mkv

At the end of the ffmpeg monitor output I get the following about the contents of the 
"combined.mkv":

Stream mapping:
   Stream #0:0 -> #0:0 (copy)
   Stream #0:1 -> #0:1 (copy)
   Stream #1:0 -> #0:2 (copy)
   Stream #1:1 -> #0:3 (copy)


Now, my question is how to achieve the following mapping:

Stream mapping:
   Stream #0:0 -> #0:0 (copy)
   Stream #0:1 -> #0:1 (copy)
   Stream #1:0 -> #1:0 (copy)
   Stream #1:1 -> #1:1 (copy)


It seems that the "-map" flag always adds a stream as a "#0:n". I would like to have "#1:0" and 
"#1:1" in the "combined.mkv" container. Is that possible?

No. The first numeral in #0:n for a output stream refers to the output file index. Since you're sending streams to the same output file, they will have the same output file index

If you want  to record for posterity which file a stream originated from, add metadata tags per stream e.g.

  -metadata:s:2 title="from input 1"

This applies the metadata to the third output stream.
