Warning: [minor] The ExtractEmbedded option may find more tags in the media data - test/IMG_8439.MOV

Am I doing something wrong? Neither -q nor -quiet have any effect on warning/error outputs. Tested with many other files as well (media and non-media files). What I want is to have either the successful output or no output if exiftool didn't find anything (as I'm using it inside a bash script).
Thanks!
From the -q option documentation:
Quiet processing. One -q suppresses normal informational
messages, and a second -q suppresses warnings as well. Error
messages can not be suppressed, although minor errors may be
downgraded to warnings with the -m option, which may then be
suppressed with "-q -q".

Thanks Phil! Now I feel stupid for asking. 😅 I stopped reading the man page at -q (-quiet) Quiet processing...
