hi,

i was using -map_metadata -1 -map_metadata:s:0 -1 -map_metadata:s:1
-1, but it does not work now. every metadata from the source is copied
over to the output file.

i have tried to google it, but it only came up with some answer with
older syntax that ffmpeg no long use.

i am using archlinux
$ ffmpeg -version
