I was trying to add a subtitle to in.mkv, but I got an error. If I add the subtitle to another mkv file, it works fine, so I’m sure the problem is in in.mkv.
And I try the following command:
> ffmpeg -v verbose -i in.mkv -c copy -y out.mkv
I got:

Trying other commands
Output only video stream cause the same error:
> ffmpeg -i in.mkv -map 0:v:0 -c copy out.mkv
Output only audio stream works fine:
> ffmpeg -i in.mkv -map 0:a:0 -c copy out.mkv
Output as mp4 works fine:
> ffmpeg -i in.mkv -c copy -strict -2 out.mp4
Re-encoding works fine:
> ffmpeg -i in.mkv -c:v libx265 -c:a copy out.mkv
