Saved copy of MP4 file contains no data streams

[bassmann]

I am attempting to trim MP4 files and then save this as a copy (ie. save as MP4, no re-encoding).
Previously under windows I had no problems doing this but I've recently switched to Linux Mint 18 which is where I'm having the problems.
All Mint Updates are applied and I'm running AVIDEMUX 2.6.19. My source files are MP4

Settings
- Video Output set to Copy
- Audio Output set to Copy

This is the behaviour under various Output Formats;

MP4 Muker - AVIDEMUX says "File saved sucessfully" however is cannot be played in a media player. XPlayer show "An error Occurred, Stream contains no data". VLC player cannot play either.
MP4v2 Muxer - cannot be saved. AVIDEMUX throws the error "Info - Muxer cannot open"
Mkv Muxer - saves correctly and is playable

So Mkv is fine but theres issues somewhere with MP4.

I feel like there's a Codec issue  somewhere so I've confirmed that Mint-Meta-Codecs is installed. Is there something else AVIDEMUX needs to work properly under Mint 18?

Thanks

Did you build avidemux 2.6.19 yourself?
Linux Mint 18 is that Ubuntu based 12.04?
Check if these are installed:

Install missing and try again.
If this fails, upload a short clip +- 100MB, that poses this issue with mp4 muxers.

Eventually if you're building you could try in the directory where you have avidemux github:

My source files are MP4

This means nothing. Please post the output of
