Comment:

 With recent ffmpeg (testing 3.2.4 here), the error message now says:

 {{{
 $ ffmpeg -i video.mp4 -i subtitles.srt -c:v copy -c:a copy -map 0 -map 1
 output.mp4
 …
 Automatic encoder selection failed for output stream #0:2. Default encoder
 for format mp4 (codec none) is probably disabled. Please choose an encoder
 manually. Error selecting an encoder for stream 0:2
 }}}

 When using `-c:s mov_text`, the encoded video plays fine in QuickTime now.
 And #1845 seems to be fixed anyway.

 So the `mov_text` codec autoselection for MOV/MP4 could now be
 implemented.
