[FFmpeg-user] Muxing audio-only MXF

[Robert Krüger]

Hi,

is there a way to mux an mxf file only containing a pcm audio stream? When
I try I get this:

ffmpeg -i
/Users/krueger/lesspain/samples/software/compressor/compressor4_1080_25p_apple_devices_best_compat_2s.m4v
-vn -c:a pcm_s16le ~/tmp/ffmpeg_pcm16_rewrap.mxf

[mxf @ 0x7f8ccd803200] there must be exactly one video stream and it must
be the first one
Could not write header for output file #0 (incorrect codec parameters ?):
Operation not permitted
Error initializing output stream 0:0 --
Conversion failed!

Is this a conscious limitation of the muxer or am I missing a command line
option?

Thanks,

Robert
