 Summary of the bug:
 This would be useful for fixing files with broken headers, but correct
 data.

 The idea is that ffmpeg analyzes the type of the stream, then wites new
 headers for this format as if it would transcode the stream fom another
 format to this format, but short-circuit the transcoding and instead use
 the original data, throwing away the original headers.

 Maybe the command should be named copy-data, corresponding to the existing
 copy.

 Usage example:
 {{{
 ffmpeg -i input.mpg -c:v copy -c:a copy-data output.mpg
 }}}
