ffmpeg stripping out third stream not working

I have files with a third stream which could be some metadata from FCP. This is the output of ffprobe:

Unsupported codec with id 0 for input stream 2

Now I want to strip the third stream (stream 2)

So I use:

ffmpeg -i 00700.mov -vcodec copy -acodec copy -map 0:0 -map 0:1 testout.mov

So again I use ffprobe:

Unsupported codec with id 0 for input stream 2

Why is it not stripping stream 2? What Am I missing?

@slhck Thanks again. I think now I've got the hang of the formatting. – Rajib – 2013-12-09T06:28:14.280

Can you provide sample of this mov file? – ptQa – 2013-12-09T11:12:58.240

@ptQa is sendspace good for you? The smallest file is 130 mb. Or do you want a cut version with no re-encoding? Also see the line multiple edit list entries, a/v desync might occur, patch welcome Input #0, mov,mp4,m4a,3gp,3g2,mj2, from '00700.mov' which does go away. But the Unsupported codec bit still remains. – Rajib – 2013-12-09T13:04:05.383

yep, any hosting is ok. File size does not matter. – ptQa – 2013-12-09T13:05:55.983

Generally, I Have no idea why it's not mapped as it should. But I've found workaround for this:

ffmpeg -i 01300.mov -filter_complex "[0:v]null[video_out];[0:a]anull[audio_out]" -map [video_out] -map [audio_out] out.mov

Looks like ffmpeg cannot map this 3rd stream correctly.

This worked for me, when neither -sn nor -c:s none would strip such a third (subtitle) stream. BTW, the inevitable re-encoding is no problem if you use this filter graph in whatever command created that file. (My stream came from a gopro hero3+, not final cut pro.) – Camille Goudeseune – 2014-08-18T22:19:40.613

Thanks it works- i had to add -strict -2 for aac, and wonder where that's coming from because the original is pcm_s24le. So would you explain how this works? Rather, why this works. – Rajib – 2013-12-09T13:58:57.137

1It works because maps option work different when you use filter graph. It maps only out streams of filter graph and it can't map source streams.

In filtergraph I used null filters (do nothing) for audio and video. About aac - I'm pretty sure you can use any codec that you want, probably ffmpeg uses aac as default for .mov format. – ptQa – 2013-12-09T14:19:34.150

Answering this since it comes up on google search (to help others looking for solutions).

This has been fixed as of this ticket, https://trac.ffmpeg.org/ticket/5492, and you can get rid of the track by adding -write_tmcd 0 to the ffmpeg command.

This is specifically for a Data (tmcd) track. For others (subtitles, data in general, etc.), a combination of either -dn, -map -0:d and similar commands should help.

Will check it out. I don't have that problematic file handy. Thanks. – Rajib – 2017-08-24T14:44:22.287

This will get rid of Unsupported codec with id 0 for input stream 1 errors (in my case caused by an unwanted data stream in the source file.) – Fabien Snauwaert – 2019-12-17T14:08:40.120
