I just added -scodec copy and I know if there are subtitles it will try to add them.  But I've had limited success as this often seems to fail, but there are a few that worked I think from .mp4 to .mp4.  Question is what else can I do besides -scodec copy?  I know the codecs are listed in help but I haven't found much info how to make this work?  Thanks again,
