Empty output file

Generated output mkv file is less than 5 KB, looks like an empty container.

Log: trace.log

mkvtoolnix version:

root@c46385bdda91:/work# mkvinfo --version
mkvinfo v28.2.0 ('The Awakening') 64-bit

Environment: Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS Docker image, run with video directory mounted as /work. I build it after Windows version didn't work, in hope that maybe on linux it would work.

If you need I can send you an email with links to drive with files that fail to merge (165 MB).

Try using --ignoredefaultflag, I think that might be what your files need. Failing that, feel free to send me an email with those links and I'll take a closer look.

Thanks, that helped. Lesson learnt: read option list, twice.
