Is telling ffmpeg to drop streams 1 and 3 from file 0. Except, we don’t want the English audio or signs and karaoke subtitles, so we use two more map commands to exclude those. ffmpeg starts counting everything from 0. Tells it to copy all streams from file 0 to the output file. The English audio track and the “Signs/Karaoke” subtitle track are unnecessary, so let’s get rid of those first: ffmpeg -i MakenKiS02E08.mkv -map 0 -map -0:1 -map -0:3 -acodec copy -vcodec copy -scodec copy tt.mkv I’ve cut off all the fonts after the first couple because the output was already long enough. This file has one video stream, two audio streams, two subtitle streams and a bunch of embedded fonts. I’ve cut a lot out of this because what I want to know about is the Streams, which are all of the different components that make up the video file. Mimetype : application/x-truetype-font Stream #0:6: Attachment: ttf Stream #0:3(zxx): Subtitle: ass (default) Stream #0:2(jpn): Audio: aac (LC), 48000 Hz, stereo, fltp _STATISTICS_WRITING_APP-eng: mkvmerge v30.1.0 (‘Forever And More’) 64-bit _STATISTICS_TAGS-eng: BPS DURATION NUMBER_OF_FRAMES NUMBER_OF_BYTES My first step was to look at how the original file was laid out, which you can do just by throwing it into ffmpeg, like so: ffmpeg -i MakenKiS02E08.mkvĪnd this gives a lot of output: Stream #0:0: Video: hevc (Main 10), yuv420p10le(tv), 1920×1080, 23.98 fps, 23.98 tbr, 1k tbn, 23.98 tbc (default) So I thought to myself, how hard could this be to fix? I’ve got ffmpeg, which is like a Swiss army knife on steroids when it comes to video file manipulation, I’m sure I can sort it out.

I kind of regret watching both seasons of it, and I am very unlikely to ever watch it again, but finding the source files made me remember something about the series that had REALLY annoyed me which was a frustrating typo in the subtitles in one of the episodes.

If you’ve never seen it, it’s a really forgettable show whose chief draw is a violent pettanko who may or may not be a dragon. The reason it HASN’T been sunset yet is that, well, there are a bunch of things on it that have been ripped but not yet encoded for playback on an AppleTV and I needed to get on that.Īnyway, that’s in process, and I was deleting a bunch of source files that had already been encoded and that’s when I ran across Maken-Ki. I have been trying to consolidate a bunch of servers recently, and one of the ones that I am looking to sunset is a box that has been used as a BD ripping and media encoding box.
