  FFmpeg only allows you to alter/override the major brand, not the minor.
  
  Command is
  
  ```
  ffmpeg -i input -ss 00:00:05 -t 100 -brand mp42 -c:v copy -c:a copy output
  
  ```
  
  [MP4box](https://gpac.wp.mines-telecom.fr/downloads/gpac-nightly-builds/) will allow you to override both.
  
  ```
  mp4box -brand mp42:0 file.mp4
  
  ```
  
  If you want to change the handler name as well, use
  
  ```
  mp4box -brand mp42:0 -name 2="IsoMedia File Produce by Google" file.mp4
  
  ```
  
  (2 is the track index i.e. the 2nd track)
