Addressing user feedback received by Andrew Weaver (@privatezero).

When the source file is ffv1 in MKV, the command will fail on the `-c:v copy` flag, since MP4s can't house ffv1.
Therefore, the command is misleading, and has limited value from an archival perspective.

We already have a basic rewrap command (which includes a note addressing the possibility of stream/wrapper incompability), so I think our bases are covered with that.
