Title: Removing Subtitles from MP4 or MKV Video
Post by: meataurean on February 04, 2014, 04:37:58 AM
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

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.

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

Hope that helps.
