Fourth, try remuxing one of the problem files. Use the Multiplexer section of MKVToolNix. This will copy the contents to a new MKV file. It is like putting a letter in a new envelope when the original is damaged, but the pages inside are OK. Source: 5 months ago
If the audio tracks are displayed as unknown, the language flag needs to be set. Use tools such as MKVToolNix Header Editor to configure the language for audio & subtitle tracks. Source: 10 months ago
As for extracting tracks from MKVs, the low-level way would be to use ffmpeg directly (something like ffmpeg -i video.mkv -map 0:s:0 subtitle.sup would extract the first subtitle stream to a .sup file, the extension used for standalone PGS subtitles), but something like MKVToolNix can probably do it as well. That won't help you too much on its own though, since you now just have an external image-based subtitle... Source: 10 months ago
You could use a tool outside of Plex (like MKVToolNix) to combine the video+audio of one version with the audio+subtitles of the other. It gets trickier, or at least more tedious, if the videos aren't exactly the same, since you'd then have to account for any audio/subtitle shifting. Source: 10 months ago
Option 3: Change to MKV container. Use MKVToolNix or similar tools and remux to a MKV container. Note that this may cause problems with Dolby Vision. LG TVs must have Dolby Vision in a MP4 container, otherwise the video will not play correctly. Probably affects other Plex clients as well. Source: 11 months ago
VidCoder (Here) is my go to app, it uses handbreak as its encoder but has much better handling of real discs. Source: about 1 year ago
A user recently reported that VidCoder would hang in the middle of a long encode. After dusting off WinDbg and some !clrstack and !eestack I found a thread in garbage collection for FlowDocument. We use this in only one place, the log window. - Source: dev.to / about 1 year ago
VidCoder uses Handbrake's engine and is very simple to use. Source: about 1 year ago
If you need a specific size, which is why I guess one of the few reasons you’d want a constant bitrate, use vidcoder, which is just a reskinned handbrake with a target size option. For compression, I’d encode with H.265 or AV1 depending on what hardware you need it for, assuming you do need it light. I would still pass through audio, unless you’re really in a pinch.
