 Unsupported codec with id 0 for input stream 2`
 }}}

 At first I thought it was simply a codec that was not supported by ffmpeg.
 But after some trial and error i noticed that mplayer is able to extract
 the video stream while using ffmpeg and all i needed to specify is that it
 was a mov container:
 {{{mplayer -demuxer mov videofile.mov}}}

 If necessary i can provide a sample video file to demonstrate this defect.
