[Libav-user] Add subtitles to MKV file

[ingmar]

Hello Everyone!

 

I am trying to add some text, being a stream, into an MKV file which has
encoded video and audio data already. Because of some reasons, storing the
text to an isolated file is not acceptable.

 

The problem I encountered was the times of subtitles were incorrect like
below.

 

[Original]

1

00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:00,999

2014-07-01 11:59:28

00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:01,999

2014-07-01 11:59:29

 

[Encoded]

1

00:02:11,072 --> 00:02:12,071

2014-07-01 11:59:28

 

2

00:02:12,072 --> 00:02:13,071

2014-07-01 11:59:29

 

My approach is following.

1. Create 3 streams: video, audio and subtitle with code AV_CODEC_ID_SUBRIP
and add to the target MKV file.

2. Encode all video and audio data.

3. Create a temporary SRT file and store all text in it.

4. Read a packet from SRT file (av_read_frame) -> decode
(avcodec_decode_subtitle2) -> encode (avcodec_encode_subtitle) -> write to
MKV file (av_interleaved_write_frame).

 

I have been sure the time_base fields of the input and output streams were
the same; and also for the pts, dts and duration ones of the input and
output packets.

 

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
