[FFmpeg-user] Dropping audio streams confuses vlc?

[hcoin]

Hi all, thanks for ffmpeg!

I'm struggling to drop two of three audio streams from an mpeg2 
audio+video source, and can't puzzle out my mistake.

I've given the following command on a mpeg2 file with one video and 
three ac3 audio streams.  The source and all three streams play 
perfectly on vlc.   I want the result to be exactly what was input, 
except with one audio stream: only the second of the three in the 
original.   But, when I give the command the result is a file which when 
played in vlc shows around 56 or so audio streams, and otherwise 
produces no sound whatever, though the picture is correct.   Am I making 
some newbie mistake?

ffmpeg -i sourcevid.mpg -vcodec copy -acodec copy  outvid.mpg -map 0.0 
-map 0.2

ffmpeg -i sourcevid.mpg -vcodec copy -acodec copy  outvid.mpg -map 0.0 
-map 0.2 -ac 1

Both cases process normally, showing the entire and correct length, then 
exiting.  Yet - no sound on playback.

I tried it on freebsd 9.1 release, and I tried it on debian wheezy (0:0 
and 0:2 instead of 0.0 and 0.2) --  same result.  What have I overlooked?

Thanks!

Harry
