"MAGIX offers a free 30-day trial version of Movie Studio. The trial version only lets you create videos up to three minutes in length, but this is more than enough to try out all the features."

Re: Converting plv video files

I did a google search on plv and MAGIX software came up.

I do not have access to MAGIX software and it is not monetarily efficient to buy it for one possible transcode.

I can remember when Handbrake was not a tool for adding subtitles either. The only way to know for sure, as we continue to enter the future, is to ask!

If you are going to send me to a 3rd party application, my preference would be VisualHub.

Is the Handbrake Team working on adding this capability?

Re: OTA Transport Streams with multiple audio tracks

OK, I appreciate the suggested workarounds.

is there any way to take the OTA digital English closed captions and get Handbrake to convert it to an optional Subtitle?

I tried one time and when I turn on Subtitles, it shows gibberish.

There are specialized tools for that, such as MakeMKV, which handle most forms of copy protection.
Does that mean the link to VLC's libraries have been severed?
