G'day Ferdi,
I added the analyzeduration and probesize options as you suggested (which added
about 3.5 minutes to the total time for a 48 minute TV episode before encoding
started) but it didn't change anything. Note that I also had changed the
subtitle codec from dvdsub to copy. That's not to say it wouldn't have worked,
because there is a strange issue. Since changing the subtitle codec from dvdsub
to copy I went from getting an empty subtitle track to now getting the wrong
subtitle track in the output. I mapped stream 6 (the regular English subtitle
track that also contains the tagged forced subtitles) but instead I am getting
stream 7 (the English SDH subtitle track). Stream 7 very likely won't have any
tagged forced subtitles in it (in which case you'd think you'd end up with an
empty track given the "-forced_subs_only 1" specification.
This is the command and the output I see at the terminal (with a couple
comments that I added):
ffmpeg -forced_subs_only 1 -analyzeduration 10000000M -probesize 10000000M \
