Removing Subtitles from MP4 or MKV Video

[meataurean]

Hello,

I am using the latest 2.6.7 version of the avidemux software. I want to remove movie subtitles (English) which is not a .srt file or ascii file - I de-muxed the same video thru mkvmerge GUI for MKV format & My MP4Box for MP4 format- but it shows only some global tags which I deselected and muxed but still the subtitles are visible .

In Avidemux subtitle filters segment I see only SSA filter which I suppose is used to add but not remove subtitles.

can some one help me.

thanks in advance

IF they are a side track, avidemux will discard them
If they are burnt-in, it is difficult to remove them

thanks mean... for me it looks like burn-in titles...any other solution ?

Only thing you can do is blurring the zone with the de-logo filter, or crop the picture.

Windows 64 ffmpeg app installed:

Example encoding command that will fix mov text embedded subtitles:
Run this from the directory where the mp4 is located. 
Change the ffmpeg location and file names, as needed.  Get rid of all chapters and leave video and audio unchanged.

Code Select Expand

C:\ffmpeg\bin\ffmpeg -i "moviefilename_subtitled.mp4" -map_chapters -1 c:v copy c:a copy "Newmoviefilename_subtitled_removed.mp4"

Hope that helps.
