The ripping software that I used dealt with that i.e. all the VOB files are categorically only for the main movie (or a given episode) and there are no menus at all. Notice that all my VOB files reference the same stream and the 1->N part is just the sequentially numbered sequence of 1GB files. > Also, the subtitles palette is not in the VOB files. Agreed, but for now I'm focusing on just getting the forced subtitles working right. > You can generate a concat script to access the DVD hierarchy correctly > using the dvd2concat script in the tools directory. > > It is entirely possible that doing so would fix your issue. do I still need to do this given the above response?

I'm not sure how I latched onto the dvdsub codec, but I did just now try "copy" and I get the same good result when using an MKV as the input. However I get a curiously different result when using the VOB input with the "copy" subtitle codec - instead of an empty subtitle track I now get full-time English subtitles but the subtitle track is for stream 7 instead of stream 6! Stream 6 was the regular English subtitle track (that contained embedded forced subtitles) and Stream 7 is the English SDH subtitle track. That's weird! Slightly off-topic: Is it really true that ffmpeg can't handle a standard DVD file structure (especially if everything is decrypted)? > > Regards, > > -- > Nicolas George _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-user mailing list [email protected] https://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-user To unsubscribe, visit link above, or email [email protected] with subject "unsubscribe".
