Not sure if it is this particular format combination (271+171) or peculiarity of this particular video.

I've downloaded some previous videos of this youtube user in the past and didn't have this problem, but maybe other format combinations were used then.

Using -f 'bestvideo[ext=mp4]+bestaudio[ext=m4a]' could work.

Could you run ffmpeg -y -i 'Linking a MIDI Controller to Track Controls In REAPER-OI_YqAdLKFc.f271.webm' -i 'Linking a MIDI Controller to Track Controls In REAPER-OI_YqAdLKFc.f171.webm' -c copy -map 0:v:0 -map 1:a:0 'Linking a MIDI Controller to Track Controls In REAPER-OI_YqAdLKFc.temp.webm' from the same directory and post the output?

I have to apologize.

Some time ago I updated ImageMagick via Chocolatey and forgot that it puts its dir at the beginning of PATH env var. This made ImageMagick's old ffmpeg (N-50911-g9efcfbe built on Mar 13 2013 21:26:48 with gcc 4.7.2 (GCC)) being used here. I fixed this and additionally downloaded latest Zeranoe's 64-bit build (N-74798-gd1bdaf3 built with gcc 4.9.3 (GCC)).

Now everything works fine, so I'm closing this.
