Dear Hoyos,
Thank you very much for your reply and interest.
I able to read your reply over the web site. Because your reply is not
delivered to my inbox. Therefore, I just now writing this reply over my
own mesasage in Thunderbird.
I think, the reason for this, due to I sent my e-mail before without
click to the confirm link. I'm newbie in here. :)
I uploaded two sample video file to Mega.Nz.

Random_Seeking_Stream-Sintel_Sample_MKV.zip
This MKV file real size is 642 MB but how can be packed as 37 MB?
Because the MKV file containts many 00 (gaps hex code). I input
Potplayer as stream URL a link of Sintel video. When the video playing,
a few times I clicked to random.ly forward scenes. I terminated
application. So, the stream (temp) video's size became small "size on
disk" in comparison with real-size. Because, it is many contaains
zero-fill/gap ("00" hex codes). Run for fix:
FFmpeg.exe -i "Random_Seeking_Stream-Sintel_Sample.mkv" -c copy Output.mkv
Result: FFmpeg truncated empty gaps and it's the output video's size now
as it should be. 36 MB. That is to say, it's contain only playing
scenes, without blank, empty, "00" full codes.
But there have a issue: The output video's timestamp still remains as
the input video. I tried the "-reset_timestamps 1" switch. No change.
Another thing is MP4/MOV issue.

Random_Seeking_Stream_Sample_MOV.zip
This MOV file real size is 397 MB. I applied same method to MOV video
file. I opened MOV's URL with Potplayer . As stream playing, I clicked a
few times random forwards. And terminated player. While as result stream
temp video saved only 16 MB on disk, but ino change real size. Because,
it contain zero bytes codes.
Run: FFmpeg.exe -i "Random_Seeking_Stream-Bunny_Sample.mov" -c copy
Output.mov
Result: FFmpeg couldn't truncate zero-fill-gap bytes codes of input
video. To boot, it saved output.mov's filesize same as real-size of
input video. That is to say, the output video stores completely as 397
MB size on disk, too. Besides, the output video's timestamps still
remain same as input video.
Summarly,
1) On MKV files zero-bytes can be truncate but output's timestamps can't
fix .
2) On MP4/MOV files zero-bytes can't truncate. Also, output video's
timestamps can't fix.
I just spent too many hours trying to fix. But, I 'couldn't find true
command-switches.
Which FFmpeg's command-switch can be correct this problems? Would you
help me with this? I would love to.
Sincerely...
