Description
While trying to play back a simple video encoded with FFmpeg and lame, I get: "Error -2041: an invalid sample description was found in the movie"
I'm on a Windows machine and am unsure if the problem is just on Windows or on Linux too.
The command line I used was:
ffmpeg -i "input.mp4" -y -acodec libmp3lame -vn "output.mp4"
No errors were displayed while encoding.
I'm using version git-41bf67d built on 2011-08-16
mp3 should be accepted in a .mp4 container and QuickTime? should be able to play it back, so I believe this is an FFmpeg bug.

Compete, uncut output missing.
Do you believe this is a regression? If not, why do you think this is supposed to work? Do you have a mp3-in-isom sample that works with QuickTime??
(Works fine with -f mov)
