Comment (by Kdmeizk):

 Since mkvmerge is the possible reference here, I checked with the version
 9.7.1.

 With {{{mkvmerge -o out.mkv in.mkv}}}, there is no '''DURATION''' fields
 while ffmpeg does it.

 But the main information I retained is in their documentation
 (https://mkvtoolnix.download/doc/mkvmerge.html#d4e535), you can see for
 the {{{--enable-durations}}} option:
 [[BR]]

 > Write durations for all blocks. This will increase file size and does
 not offer any additional value for players at the moment.
 [[BR]]

 So if {{{-map_metadata -1}}} is not the original way to avoid the write of
 these '''DURATION''' fields (that I believe I understood from your
 answer), is it possible to do something (you or me) to avoid the use of
 mkvmerge in addition to ffmpeg to fix this problem?
