Attack of the clones forced subtitles

TheGreatOne

This is just one example,

Several films with forced subtitles are out of sync or not even lined up at all.

All of AOTC’s forced subtitles seem to be between 5 and 6 minutes. Driving me mad!

Can anyone replicate this and fix it and tell me where I am going wrong?

Thanks

You mean "Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones" ?

No problem for me with en forced "Extract Original Format" in Germany
but with "Remux Into File" all timing is wrong

Note the differents:

So we still have a remux problem? I usually leave any subs in the file, not an external (SRT) file. Does extracting them fix the issue?

At least with D+ it looks like that ...
... no idea with NF, Amazon and D+ I usually use Original Format without Remux

btw: My used free Imagehoster is currently down - backup

Good to know. @Wilson.Wang can you have the devs please look at the issue?

If you download it with a separate SRT, and merge it yourself, does it work correctly?

If I use “Extract Original Format” (+ manually convert to srt) or
“Extract to SRT File” and merge with current MKVToolNix GUI
the result is/was always correct.

I rechecked using 6235: Forced Subs with Remux Into File
are now correct with both mkv (ffmpeg + mkvtoolnix)
but with Video Format mp4 it's still wrong. (like post #2+4 pic)

Good information. And apparently not other providers, just D+.
I have forced subs from other providers, in the mp4 container and they are correct.

Thank you so much! I will download separately ❤️

Sorry to be a pain, following up on my previous question, is there any decent software that can combine the SRTs downloaded separately and mux them with the mp4? I like having them all together. Thanks

You can find (outdated) ffmpeg and mp4box in SF Dir

with ffmpeg i get warnings and you have the same problem as SF remux
[code]ffmpeg -i "Attack of the clones.mp4" -i "Attack of the clones.en.forced.srt" -c:v copy -c:a copy -c:s mov_text "Attack of the clones+srt+.mp4"[/code]

but mp4box works fine:
[code]MP4Box -add "Attack of the clones.mp4" -add "Attack of the clones.en.forced.srt:txtflags=0xC0000000:name=english" -new "Attack of the clones+srt.mp4"[/code]

Hello

I have used various tools like MP4Box, Yamb, MKVToolGUI and I can’t find anything that combines srt file with the mp4 file. Just get failure messages. Do I have to do anything with the srt file first? Thanks

Thank you for replying. I am not wanting to hard sub, but just mux them into the mp4 file. Any suggestions? Thanks

mp4box should work, see this thread post #7 - https://forum.videohelp.com/threads/360149-Can-you-mux-subtitles-and-a-mp4-file-together

I've tested this successfully before I posted
otherwise i had no way of knowing that ffmpeg would fail and mp4box would work

No errors with SF created files:

I have just installed MP4Box. I am not familiar with CMD. Never used it before. Sorry to be a pain but can you write me the formula so I can copy and paste it please?

I have made a folder on the Desktop called CMD and the files inside are AOTC.srt and AOTC.mp4.

Thank you for all your help

Germania

I have just installed MP4Box.

You need nothing install - simple copy mp4box.exe from SF Directory

> Sorry to be a pain but can you write me the formula so I can copy and paste it please

If you don't like command-line you can copy following line in a batchfile
for example save a textfile with name convert.cmd (without .txt)
so you need only doubleclick this file in your Directory with the files

[code]MP4Box -add "AOTC.mp4" -add "AOTC.srt:txtflags=0xC0000000:name=english" -new "AOTC+srt.mp4"[/code]
