FFMPEG - Convert MKV to MP4 with all streams (subtitles) and watermark


I spent few hours researching and still have problem... I want to convert .mkv file to .mp4 with watermark and subtitles (from mkv).

I tried few commands but always error or success with watermark without subtitles. Here are some commands I tried (not all):

Partial Success - some files are converted with subtitles, but I have 153 files that are converted without subtitles... (both from .mkv to .mp4):

ffmpeg -i 025.mkv -vf "movie=logovideo2.png [watermark]; [in][watermark] overlay=main_w-overlay_w-10:10,subtitles=025.mkv [out]" 25.mp4

ffmpeg -i 001.mkv -i logovideo2.png -filter_complex "[0:v][1:v]overlay=0:0,subtitles=001.mkv[out]" -map "[out]" -map 0:a -c:s ass 001.mp4

Fail - command with error:

ffmpeg -i 001.mkv -i logovideo2.png -filter_complex "[0:v][1:v]overlay=0:0[out]" -map "[out]" -map 0:a -map 0:s -c:s ass 001.mp4

Solution

  • 2024 Update - SOLUTION: Command was working, but didn't worked on my server because I didn't have any fonts installed lol... so I had to install fonts and then it worked... :D

    Command ffmpeg -i 001.mkv -i logovideo2.png -filter_complex "[0:v][1:v]overlay=0:0,subtitles=001.mkv[out]" -map "[out]" -map 0:a 001.mp4

    Doesn't has subtitles... here's output:
