i concat:"$(ls -1 VIDEO_TS/*.VOB | sort | xargs echo | sed 's/ /|/g')"īut it still yielded an empty subtitle track. I also tried another trick for defining the ffmpeg input using: map 0:1 -c:v hevc_videotoolbox -b:v 1500k -color_primaries:v smpte170m -color_trc:v bt709 -colorspace:v smpte170m -disposition:v default \īut that didn't work in that the subtitle track was empty. So I did:Īnd used that as the input to the same ffmpeg command i.e.:

a VIDEO_TS folder) as a single movie - it can only deal with ONE VOB file. I understand that (to my immense displeasure) FFmpeg is unable to deal with a DVD structure (i.e. I'd like to use the original VOB structure. However, for reasons I'd like to avoid for now, I don't want to first convert my movie to MKV i.e. I have an MKV movie that when played shows only the forced subtitles when the non-English stuff is spoken :-). map 0:6 -c:s:0 dvd_subtitle -disposition:s:0 default \Īnd that worked i.e. map 0:2 -c:a:0 copy -disposition:a:0 default \ map 0:1 -c:v hevc_videotoolbox -b:v 1500k -disposition:v default \ I converted the VOB structure to a file named "uncompressed.mkv" using MakeMKV and then did the compression via: The forced subtitles are not in their own subtitle track but rather tagged within the regular English subtitle track (stream 0:6) so that they can be separately identified and displayed when only forced subtitles are requested. I'm trying to compress the movie using ffmpeg into an MKV file, keeping only the English 5.1 audio track and the forced subtitles (and tossing all other audio and subtitle tracks).


The movie contains several sections of Spanish dialog for which English forced subtitles are normally displayed. a VIDEO_TS folder containing multiple sequentially numbered 1GB VOB files and a couple IFO files. I have decrypted and ripped the main movie from a DVD - the original DVD file structure has been maintained i.e.
