makemkvcon and closed-captioning subtitles

Post by milpex »

I am trying to use makemkvcon to rip a disc/folder for a DVD that uses closed captioning. In the GUI, it rips correctly (using ccextractor) and includes the subtitles by default. But on the command line, I can never seem to get them to be included. makemkvcon is at least aware they exist, though:

output of makemkvcon info:

Code: Select all

MakeMKV v1.16.7 linux(x64-release) started

But calling makemkvcon mkv all does not include all these tracks, and is missing the subtitles.

I have tried editing ~/.MakeMKV/settings.conf and currently have this:

Code: Select all

app_DefaultSelectionString = "+sel:all"
app_UpdateEnable = "0"
app_ccextractor = "/usr/bin/ccextractor"
What am I missing here? I just want every single track included when I run makemkvcon with no exceptions.
