It does help if you post the complete, uncut console output of your command. > FFmpeg does not write subtitle files as far as i know. What are you trying to say? ffmpeg does write subtitle files, but mbork wasn't trying to do that. ffmpeg does clip subtitle files correctly as well. I tried an equivalent of the posted second command line, and it worked for me. (The subtitles were included into the MP4 with the correct "-ss" offset, and when extracted, looked correct.) > Alternatively you can convert your srt input, mp4 only supports one type of > subtitle stream, so you will have to convert your srt input to mov_text, > remove the subtitle filter and add -c:s mov_text That's exactly what the second given command line did. ;-) > > What am I doing wrong? What does you media player say? Does it say there is a subtitle stream, yet you see nothing? Or does it not recognize the subtitles? (And which media player is this? Are you sure it can display mov_text?) Perhaps the player has issues overlaying text on a small 240x180 video.
