Ask help: Failed to open bitstream filter h264_mp4toannexb

I installed ffmpeg-2.8.2 on Mac and run in command line:

ffmpeg -i firstTake.mp4 -vcodec copy -acodec copy -vbsf h264_mp4toannexb firstTake.ts

and get the following result with some errors. For each time running, the error "Failed to open bitstream filter h264_mp4toannexb for stream 0 with codec copy: Invalid argument" happens at different time points. And if I trim the original 18 minute video to 15 minutes, it works. I'm new in this area. Can anyone shed some light on my problem? Thanks!
