HB CLI 0.10.0: Bug with Forced Subs

[nick24]

First of all I want to thank you for HandBrake CLI. I like it very much and it generally does a very good job.

I use HB on Windows since version 0.9.6 for creating mp4 files and unfortunately there was always a problem with certain (forced) subtitles, i.e. during playback the last subtitle stayed on screen till the end of the movie (with e.g. WD TV Live as media player). This problem could be handled by adding a dummy sample at the end of the subtitlte track by using mp4v2 afterwards.

But now with version 0.10.0 I encountered an error during encoding with a forced subtitle and passthrough. This means that 'avformatMux' quits the encoding process with error -22. When using 'subtitle-burned' the encoding succeeds but the last subtitle is visible in the movie till the end (this happens with mkv too). Therefore neither passthrough (ERROR) nor burned (stay forever) work with 0.10.0/mp4. With 0.9.9 the encoding process finishes for passthrough.

Below is the log.
Thanks in advance.

We've gotten a couple reports of this problem with dvd subtitles, but I've not found a DVD I can reproduce the problem with yet. Which DVD title is this?

[nick24]

Thanks for the quick response.
It's 'The Smurfs 2'

Btw is there any way to automatically choose the right/default angle for the chosen audio language for encoding? When playing the DVD the right angle will automatically be used. Why not also with HB?

[Deleted User 11865]

Because that information is controlled by the menu, and that requires user intervention. HandBrake is not a DVD player

[nick24]

Hmm, I thought that somewhere in the dvd's data files there must be a link: if you choose language x then use angle y for playback. Would be nice if dvdnav could extract this information. Actually i'm not familiar with DVD structures. Just an idea.

[Woodstock]

When using MakeMKV to do the rip, different angles are saved to different files, so you'd have to select the file that has the correct angle, along with the correct audio track(s) when you go to encode them with Handbrake.

[nick24]

But the problem is: what is the correct angle for the desired audio track? I know no other way than watching the movie and checking it for language specific visual hints. This is quite time consuming and not obvious. Often the angle number is the same as the audio track number, but this is not always the case. The DVD/VLC player knows it, why not dvdnav/HB?

[nick24]

HandBrake is no DVD player, but it's quite simple to simulate a DVD player. At least I managed it to get the desired information automatically within a few seconds now: The default angle and (as a side effect) the default subtitle track for foreign language segments.

Using the Windows IDvd* Interfaces, I wrote a little command line tool (i.e. without any (output-)windows) to get the default angle and subtitle track for a certain language. Therefore its no longer necessary to have an additional pass in HandBrake to search for an appropriate subtitle track, i.e. the overall encoding process is faster.

For my DVD collection this works. But perhaps there are DVDs for which this does not work, e.g. the implemented approach is not general enough!? Does anybody has any experience on that? Of course I'm happy to share any details with anybody who is interested on that.

Next step would be to make this for Blu-Rays, too. Perhaps with the libbluray.

PS: Any progress on the bug with forced subs?
