I'm trying to convert a .ts file with this output to mkv:

To do that I'm using this command:
ffmpeg -i input.ts -c copy output.mkv
But the conversion fails with this error:

Stream #0:2 -> #0:1 (copy)

Conversion failed!
What should I do in order to fix this? I've already tried to add -fflags +genpts in the beginning but it fails anyway.
EDIT: I did solve it by using MKVToolNix instead.
Try to run with the -ss flag.
ffmpeg -ss 0:01 -i input.ts -c copy output.mkv
