How can I set dts to 40ms as pts starts 40ms after the stream starts with ffmpeg

 

I have a video which pts starts 40ms after the stream is started.

avidemux shows this information’s with this commandline

./avidemuxLinux_2.7.8_GLIBC_2.28_amd64.appImage --audio-codec copy --video-codec x265 --output-format MKV --load /media/alex/input_video.avi --save /media/alex/output_video_h265.mkv --quit

I have searched in the ffmpeg docs and found the “-use_mfra_for pts” but when I execute this commands below get I “moov atom not found”

Any hints how to tell ffmpeg to do the same thing as avidemux?
