    v3.4.7.12

    Although 'Clever' includes '-dn' (no data streams) during export, this parameter
    does not remove a time code (TMCD) data stream.

    I need 'Clever' to have the ability to properly remove TMCD; that's all.
    It is as simple as adding '-write_tmcd 0' to your ffmpeg cmd.
    Is that too much to ask?

    Batch Remove tmcd stream
    I will not make these changes.
    To know why this is extremely important, please read on ...

    | Stream Type | Code | Description |
    |------------|------|-------------|
    | Video | 'v' or 'V' | Video streams. 'v' matches all video streams,
    while 'V' only matches video streams that are not attached pictures, thumbnails, or cover arts|
    | Audio | 'a' | Audio streams. Includes all types of audio tracks in the media file|
    | Subtitle | 's' | Subtitle streams. Contains text-based subtitle tracks|
    | Data | 'd' | Data streams. Can include various types of non-media data embedded in the file|
    | Attachments | 't' | Attachment streams. Used for embedded files like fonts, images, or
    other supplementary content|
    TMCD (Timecode) is a specialized Data stream type that carries timing metadata for video files,
    primarily used in professional video production and editing workflows.

    Characteristics
    ---------------
    | Attribute | Description |
    |-----------|-------------|
    | Stream Type | Data stream ('d') |
    | Codec | 'tmcd' (timecode) |
    | Purpose | Stores precise frame-level timing information |
    | Common Containers | QuickTime (.mov), professional video formats |
    Usage
    ------
    A timecode stream provides frame-accurate timing information that helps synchronize video
    frames, in professional video editing and production environments.

    It contains:
    - Starting timecode
    - Frame rate
    - Frame count
    - Precise temporal references

    Typical Use Cases
    - Professional video editing
    - Broadcast and film production
    - Maintaining frame-level synchronization
    - Precise video navigation and editing

    Issues
    -------
    Some applications (ex: mobile platforms) have compatibility problems with files containing TMCD streams.

    Detection
    ----------
    When inspecting a file with a timecode stream, you'll see an entry like:
    Code:
    Stream 0:2(und): Data: none (tmcd / 0x64636D74), 0 kb/s (default)
    Removal
    ---------
    You can remove a TMCD stream using FFmpeg:
    Code:
    ffmpeg -i input.mov -c:a copy -c:v copy -write_tmcd 0 output.mov

    Will add it to the multiplex commandlines.

  5. Thank you ..

    Note: I am hoping you will add it to both multiplex commands lines (reg, simple),
    simple allows batch jobs.

    As always keep up the great work, much appreciated.
    and don't stress yourself too much.
