Hi,

I'm new to Avidemux and really like it!

I am trimming and cutting .ts video downloaded through Plex using HDHomeRun.

It has a text stream which I seem to lose after cutting and then saving.  Am I doping something g wrong or cannot Avidemux save the text as well?

thanks!
James.

Avidemux supports video and audio tracks only, unfortunately. So neither teletext nor subtitles can be read (demuxed) or written (muxed).

Patches welcome.

Thanks!

Do you know of a way round this? eg: extract the text or a different bit of software?  ...to be honest, I haven't found anything that does do it and I like Avidemux (having only discovered it recently).

I'd suggest using command-line ffmpeg (conveniently available on macOS via Homebrew).

ffmpeg -ss <time to seek to> -t <duration to save> -i /Path/to/input.TS -c copy -map 0:0 -map 0:1 [and so on for all the stream IDs you would like to copy to output] /Path/to/outfile.[TS|mkv|mp4]

To identify streams IDs use

ffprobe -hide_banner /Path/to/input.TS

thanks, I'll give that a go.
