Laputa - No usabel subtitles found in the MKV result file

Post by steinmb »

Hi
Have used MakeMKV for years. This disk is the first one with subtitle related problem. Audio tracks seems to be OK.

* Checked the disc. Normal play works (tested in PS4)
* Decryptet from disc. No reading errors and seems to do it thing, but there is not subtitles.
* Created non decrypted backup with makemkv to the hard drive and tested with makemkv from there. Same result.

The disc have two movie titles. I extracted them both. Title-01 have no traces of subtitles. Title-00 have but nothing my tools understand.

Debugging:

Checked for subtitles with VLC 3.0.11, Handbrake 1.3.3, MKVTools. Nothing. Tested with older version of MakeMKV but they all had the same problem.

MKVTools threw this: Laputa_t00.mkv.errorCodec_hdmv_text_subtitle

Two possibilities, considering the partial logs.

Did you, perhaps, ONLY select the "forced only" subtitles? If so, there were none to be found:

Code: Select all

Forced subtitles track #3 turned out to be empty and was removed from output file
Forced subtitles track #5 turned out to be empty and was removed from output file
Forced subtitles track #7 turned out to be empty and was removed from output file
The other is that you have set a "preferred language", which will not select subtitles unless they are tagged as that language. This is less likely, because it did try to find forced subtitles.

Maybe a screenshot from the MakeMKV window will help where all titles with Audio and Subtitle streams are seen (Chapters can be fold)

Hi and thank you for you replies.
Sorry I was slow to reply. Need to check my forum notification settings...

EDIT: I tried to debug the mkvfile produced by makemkv with ffmpeg but I was too unfamiliar with the tool to make any headway. At least I got some detailed details about the mkv-file.

Re: Laputa - No usabel subtitles found in the MKV result file

Post by dcoke22 »

The output suggests that there are subtitle tracks in your MKV file. It also says they're of type:

Code: Select all

Codec ID                                 : S_HDMV/TEXTST
Which is a legit format it seems: https://www.matroska.org/technical/subtitles.html

It is, however, uncommon I think. I searched through all my MKV files and I only have 1 movie that has a subtitle track in that format. When I play that 1 particular MKV file in a utility like mpv, it tells me the subtitle track is there, but won't play it. It seems like the most recent version of VLC will play it, however.

This post https://forum.videohelp.com/threads/394 ... tle-format suggested a way to convert the subtitles to a different format.

Right, a not much used non image based format. I'll try if I can find someone with a windows machine I could borrow for a few hours. Thank you for helping out with a issue that turned out to be Makemkv unrelated.

You could set up Win 10 in a Virtualbox machine and install it there. Microsoft's Media Creation Tool lets you download an ISO to install from and as long as you don't activate you can use it freely.
