Keep (copy) subtitle stream while re-encoding video?

[BlackPlatypus]

Hi!
I have .mp4 and .mkv files with embedded subtitles; for example created with

Code: Select all

ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -i subtitle.srt -c copy -c:s mov_text -metadata:s:s:0 language=eng out.mp4

Now I would like to convert these files, re-encoding the video and audio streams, but keeping the subtitle stream.
I would expect the Mode "Stream Copy" to do just that, but in all my tests I couldn't get it to work.
No subtitle stream is included in the output.

How do I do this correctly?

There is a mistake in your fomular that makes no result spacebar clicker

Hey, Blackplatypus please look

and please chenge video_codec or audio_codec.

Please try this syntax for stream copy during video re-encoding
Ex.

Code: Select all

ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -i subtitle.srt -c:v [video_codec] -c:a [audio_codec] -c:s mov_text -metadata:s:s:0 language=eng -map 0 -map 1 -strict -2 out.mp4
