vidcutter fails to save clips from some videos

[ghost]

"Your media file is ready! ... size: 0.0 B" -- and even an empty file doesn't appear.

The last lines in the console are

/usr/bin/ffmpeg -hide_banner -v error -ss 00:09:03.710 -t 00:01:57.701 -i "/home/opennota/party.mp4" -c copy -map 0:0 -map 0:1 -map 0:2 -map 0:3 -avoid_negative_ts 1 -copyinkf -y "/tmp/vidcutter/party_EDIT_00.mp4"
cut resulted in zero length file, trying again without all stream mapping
/usr/bin/ffmpeg -hide_banner -v error -ss 00:09:03.710 -t 00:01:57.701 -i "/home/opennota/party.mp4" -c copy -map 0:0 -map 0:1 -map 0:2 -map 0:3 -avoid_negative_ts 1 -copyinkf -y "/tmp/vidcutter/party_EDIT_00.mp4"

When I run the last line manually, ffmpeg prints the following:

[mp4 @ 0x560d5ec9d080] Could not find tag for codec none in stream #2, codec not currently supported in container
Could not write header for output file #0 (incorrect codec parameters ?): Invalid argument

I use vidcutter 5.5.0 (linux/amd64)

I have the same experience when using on MP2 videos created by WinFast PVR

I confirm that vidcutter returns 0.0 bytes length 'converting' some .mp4 files. Usually I convert them to .avi and vidcutter succeeds.

Hello, Same trouble on Debian Stretch (stable) and Flatpak : ~$ flatpak run com.ozmartians.VidCutter --version VidCutter 6.0.0

I use mpeg-ts and mp4 files.

I have the following messages :

Thank you for any help.

I have the same problem with a MKV video!

It locks up as soon as you press "Save media" on macOS Catalina (I have given the app access to my folders). Very disappointing.
