  I am trying to extract the subtitles, edit them and reattach them to the video.
(I need my program to do that so I don't want to use other software)

  


  Command 1

  


  ffmpeg -i video.mkv -map 0:3 -c:s ssa subs.ass
ffmpeg -i video.mkv -i subs.ass -map 0 -map -0:s -map 1 -c copy out.mkv


  


  Command 2

  


  ffmpeg -i video.mkv -map 0:3 subs.ass
ffmpeg -i video.mkv -i subs.ass -map 0 -map -0:s -map 1 -c copy out.mkv


  


  Command 3

  


  ffmpeg -i video.mkv -map 0:3 subs.srt
ffmpeg -i video.mkv -i subs.srt -map 0 -map -0:s -map 1 -c copy out.mkv


  


  Command 4

  


  ffmpeg -i video.mkv -map 0:3 subs.srt
ffmpeg -i subs.srt subs.ass
ffmpeg -i video.mkv -i subs.ass -map 0 -map -0:s -map 1 -c copy out.mkv


  


  Command 5

  


  ffmpeg -i video.mkv -map 0:3 subs.ass
ffmpeg -i subs.ass subs.srt
ffmpeg -i video.mkv -i subs.srt -map 0 -map -0:s -map 1 -c copy out.mkv


  


  The problem

  


  After extraction the subtitles seem to be really quick, meaning they are displayed and disappear really quickly.

  


  For example the first subtitle is as follows in srt:

  


  1&#xA;00:00:03,100 --> 00:00:03,560&#xA;<font face="Dominican" size="77" color="#f7f7f7">Within the spreading darkness</font>&#xA;

  


  Now, in srt it also has wrong size but I assume that's because of the conversion from ass to srt.

  


  If I reattach the subtitle file in the video and open it, it is displayed and disappears way too fast and it doesn't match the original subtitles in the video.

  


  (ie, the original video subtitles are showing for at least a second)

  


  Expected behaviour

  


  The subtitles should be displayed for the same duration as the original subtitles.

  


  NOTE

  


  It's my first question for ffmpeg related issues so feel free to ask me for anything else you may need.

  


  UPDATE 1

  


  I realized that the subtitles were ok for the timings as they had the same line multiple times, so the problem for not playing is something else.

  


  Example of the file

  


  1&#xA;00:00:03,100 --> 00:00:03,560&#xA;<font face="Dominican" size="77" color="#f7f7f7">Within the spreading darkness</font>&#xA;&#xA;2&#xA;00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:04,650&#xA;<font face="Dominican" size="77" color="#f7f7f7">Within the spreading darkness</font>&#xA;&#xA;3&#xA;00:00:04,650 --> 00:00:05,100&#xA;<font face="Dominican" size="77" color="#f7f7f7">Within the spreading darkness</font>&#xA;

  


  So the problem is that VLC doesn't show more than the first subtitle.

  


  The strange thing is when I use the below command

  


  ffmpeg -i video.mkv -i subs.srt -map 0 -map -0:s -map 1 -c copy -c:s subrip out.mkv


  


  Then more lines of the subtitle (but not all) play.

  


  It stops at the 17th line.

  


  I believe that's an encoder's problem? but I really don't know.

  


  Also what I noticed is that VLC stops the subtitles but Windows Media Player (Windows 11 version) display the subtitles correctly even after the 17th line.

  


  BUT, if I add subtitles from another video they are played correctly in both VLC and Windows Media Player.

  


  Update 2
As @Gyan said in his answer I should use the following command

  


  ffmpeg -i video.mkv -map 0:3 -c:s copy subs.ass


  


  But then if I attach the subs again with

  


  ffmpeg -i video.mkv -i subs.ass -map 0 -map -0:s -map 1 -c copy -c:s ass out.mkv


  


  The subtitles show up to 17th line in both VLC and Windows Media Player.

  


  or

  


  ffmpeg -i video.mkv -i .\subs.ass -map 0 -map -0:s -map 1 -c copy out.mkv


  


  The subtitles do not show up at all. (Not even in Windows Media Player)

• ffmpeg - Incompatible sample format '(null)'

  17 June 2012, by abrahab

  I convert videos from different sources with ffmpeg to mp4 with libx264 codec. After conversation time to time I got incorrect format error when trying to load already converted video with ffmpeg: Incompatible sample format '(null)' for codec 'aac', auto-selecting format 's16'

  Seems, it is audio stream problem with aac codec? How to fix or how to convert videos to mp4 to be sure that I will not get the following error? Maybe somehow need to specify audio format at the ffmpeg convert command ?

  ps. Video must work at Iphone/Ipad.
  pps. the main problem, that such videos with the following error can not be pseudo-streamed with nginx (got 500 Error)
  ppps. and sorry for my bad english, please, correct my text if need. thanks.
