Examples

open all close all

Basic Examples  (1)

Export automatically picks the subtitle encoding:

Wolfram Language code: v = Video["ExampleData/bullfinch.mkv"];
Wolfram Language code: Import["ExampleData/bullfinch.mkv", "SubtitleEncoding", SubtitleTrackSelection -> All]

Check available subtitle encodings for Matroska:

Wolfram Language code: $SubtitleEncoders["Matroska"]//Column

Export using a specific subtitle encoding:

Wolfram Language code: file = Export["file.mkv", v, SubtitleEncoding -> "SRT"]; Import[file, "SubtitleEncoding", SubtitleTrackSelection -> All]

Scope  (1)

Specify the subtitle encoding in video functions such as VideoCombine:

Wolfram Language code: VideoCombine[{Video["ExampleData/bullfinch.mkv"], ExampleData[{"Audio", "PianoScale"}]}, SubtitleEncoding -> "SRT"]
Wolfram Language code: Information[%, "SubtitleTracks"]
