This is the key part missing from your email. What map options did you try?
We would need to see the complete output.
I usually would add -map 0 to grab all tracks, but it sounds like you tried
this and it was bringing over an unsupported track as well. Assuming it’s a
data track, you could try also adding -dn to ignore data tracks, or just
use ‘-map 0:v -map 0:a’ instead of the “-map 0 -dn” to make sure all audio
tracks and video track are mapped.
