It should create an audio-only mkv with the picture embedded as metadata instead. Should it turn out that mkv does not have anything like image data in metadata, ffmpeg should not create a video stream anyway.

Replying to gjdfgh:

It should create an audio-only mkv with the picture embedded as metadata instead.

Why?

comment:2 by Hendrik, 11 years ago

The original file has an attached coverart in metadata, and when transcoding this, why would the target file be any different? (And yes, MKV has this concept)

Not to mention that a video stream with only one frame breaks seeking in the file in many players, because they try to seek to video.

comment:3 by gjdfgh, 11 years ago

And yes, the AV_DISPOSITION_ATTACHED_PIC flag is set on the input "video" stream. It just isn't printed by ffmpeg, apparently. The output has it not set.
