This may result in incorrect timestamps in the output file." warnings, while the Linux and native Windows builds (by gyan.dev) of the exact same ffmpeg version do not generate such warnings when remuxing the exact same input file. This seems to be stemming from some math library difference that results in incorrect parsing of timestamps in the Cygwin version.

I have found the cause. The cygwin ffmpeg package is based on the
Fedora ffmpeg-free package, and the issue also occurs in Fedora's
ffmeg-free package. In other words, the issue originates from
Fedora. I have added a workaround for this problem.

Please wait for 8.1.1-3, in which the issue will be fixed.
