I know maybe it's not a right place to ask this question but I couldn't find more related Q/A site from StackExchange group so here it goes :
I need to add subtitle to a movie, i already have avi format video and srt format subtitle file and now i want to encode them both into one file. so the output file should have 3 streams, video,audio and subtitle. when i try ffmpeg -i video.avi -i subtitle.srt combined.mkv it understands what I want and logs
stream #0.0 -> #0.0
stream #0.1 -> #0.1
stream #1.0 -> #0.2
but then it generates error Encoder (codec id 0) not found for output stream #0.2. I tried adding -newsubtitle option after combined.mkv but that seemed to be unnecessory cause it generated log like this :
stream #0.0 -> #0.0
stream #0.1 -> #0.1
stream #1.0 -> #0.2
stream #1.0 -> #0.3
can anyone help me what I should do to introduce subtitle encoder to ffmpeg (I also tried mp4 format for output stream but the same error was reported) ? and by the way does anyone know a way to keep the original video quality in generated one?
