srt subtitles in mp4 or mkv

[charos]

Hi,

I have ts-doctor to save my ts file (_fixed) and extracted the teletext subtitles (srt). When I ask it to convert it to another format through "TS Format Converter" ,like mp4 or with mkv , subtitles are not added to the file. I'm trying to avoid keeping subtitles as external srt file and, add it to the video file.
I had success with handbrake doing this, but this way I have to re-encode the file.
Can I achieve this within ts-doctor ? If not , anyone knows a way without re-encoding the file?

you can use mkvmerge from the mkvtoolkit to add that stream. This is just a remuxing, no re-encoding.

But of course, this will give you an MKV file as output, not a simple MP4 one.

You can simply install TSMuxer through the supported tools section and use the TS Remuxer tool (expert tools)

it will do exactly what you want

I tried it but it always gives some error. Most recent one is " Error: Found B frame without second reference in a non closed GOP. Fix the MPEG2 video stream before attempting to multiplex it." Every ts I put, it always return has some errors.

TS Remuxer (remux mkv) somehow remuxes only the audio (there is no video) .

I also tried tsMuxerR , that gives a ts with the subtitles but in a very weird output - as if subtitles are burned-in ,oversized without possibility to reduce size and they extend beyond the output (here's a screenshot: http://snag.gy/6VDsY.jpg )

That sound very strange to me. Unless you try to feed the original file into mkvmerge. Allways use the _fixed version, there should be no errors left that could mkvmerge prevent from working properly.

I use Handbrake to make mkv or mp4. Everything is OK, but You must tell subtitle language and code.

You must tell subtitle language and code.

You can spare the "code" selection. Instruct the TSDoc to output UTF8, thats the default input code for Handbrake. One manual selection less
