Should I be concerned before I share a video I downloaded from a site I needed to log in to with a username and password? Does the file I have include data that references my account? If so is there away to remove it before I share it?

Signed I am tired of feeling like I don't contribute to the community.

Would this require specific stripping flags or is a simple

ffmpeg -i video.mkv -c:v copy -c:a copy out.mkv

enough?

Use -map_metadata -1 to strip all metadata.

The :v and :a is not needed.

ffmpeg -i video.mkv -c copy output.mkv

This will automatically copy the audio and the video without a reencode.
