I run ffmpeg -i 1.mp4 -map_metadata -1 -codec copy 2.mp4 to remove all the metadata. But ffmpeg add handler_name : SoundHandler to audio track and handler_name : VideoHandler to video track.



Is there a option to disable it?



I am running ffmpeg 3.4.

          Edit: Now possible. You can specify a custom value, including an empty string to remove it.



          ffmpeg -i 1.mp4 -map_metadata -1 -codec copy -metadata:s handler_name=somestring 2.mp4

          • handler_name is not mandatory in mp4 metadata. If ffmpeg adds it automatically and cannot be disable, should not it be consider a bug?
