Hi ffmpeg-(co-)users, could not find any previous post on the subject (*) so i might be alone with that problem of mine.
what is the proper way to concatenate videos with subtitles? here is what i tried when merging (concat way) 2+ working fine mkv or ogm containing subs (srt type): 1> ffmpeg -i "concat:v1.avi|v2.avi" -i "concat:v1.srt|v2.srt" -strict experimental -c copy "v.mkv" or 2> ffmpeg -i "concat:v1.avi|v2.avi" -i "concat:v1.srt|v2.srt" -strict experimental -vcodec copy -acodec copy -scodec srt "v.mkv" then i also tried in two steps : 3> ffmpeg -i "v1.avi" -i "v1.srt" -strict experimental -c copy "v1.mkv" 3> ffmpeg -i "v2.avi" -i "v2.srt" -strict experimental -c copy "v2.mkv" 3> ffmpeg -i "concat:v1.mkv|v2.mkv" -strict experimental -c copy "v.mkv" but, for the cases the original vdos are clean, same format and so on, the resulting vdo only keeps the subs of the 1st file. what am i doing wrong and how sould it be done? thank you for your kind help. clu 20140721 (*) didn't get any other way to search bu to use google with this query [concatenate subtitles site:https://ffmpeg.org/pipermail/ffmpeg-user] side question : any other way? PS: Well, for any newby around looking for similar issue here's what my results are: 1. without subtitles the 3rd method is the one to go. 2. until i get a solution, i'd say it does'nt work with subs streams (i only get the 1st file muxed!). so what? well, as far as i need to concatenate soft subbed videos (.mkv) i use the mkvtoolnix. its syntax is awfull but there's a gui that even builds the command line for you so... and it provides some extra operations (besides concatenating). It's annoying to have to use more/other tools but it gets the job done, till i find a way to have ffmpeg to do it (as advertised) -sigh- good de/muxing all _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-user mailing list [email protected] http://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-user
