New submission from fmm <[email protected]>: When demuxing ASS subtitle tracks via
ffmpeg -i file.mkv -scodec copy subtitles.ass the resulting file doesn't have an UTF-8 BOM mark at the beggining (0xEF 0xBB 0xBF). Many tools assume or guess incorrectly the charset if they don't find the BOM (ASS subtitles are always stored as UTF-8 in Matroska). When this happens non-ASCII characters break. mkvextract and Aegisub always write the BOM when extracting/writing ASS files to avoid these kind of problems. ---------- messages: 11240 priority: normal status: new substatus: new title: ASS demuxer doesn't write UTF-8 BOM type: bug ________________________________________________ FFmpeg issue tracker <[email protected]> <https://roundup.ffmpeg.org/issue2104> ________________________________________________
