Disable default subtitle

[Marco Panza]

Hi,

I have many mkv files where I need to choose the audio / subtitle streams and set the favorite as default:

ffmpeg.exe -y -i originale_ridotto.mkv -map 0:0 -map 0:1 -map 0:2 -map 0:5 -disposition:a:1 -default-forced -disposition:a:0 +default+forced -disposition:s -default -c copy prova.mkv

With this command I can choose the audio track that I like and make the first audio as default and work for audio but not work for subtitles

I have tried:

-disposition:s -default
-disposition:s:0 -default
-default_mode infer_no_subs

but in all case the stream 5 (subtitle) is always default. I like to copy multiple subtitles and remove all default.

Thank you !!

Please test current FFmpeg git head and provide the command line you tested together with the complete, uncut console output and an input sample to make this a valid ticket.

As has already been said, your ticket is very incomplete; but given that your Mediainfo log contains the line "ID in the original source medium : 4613 (0x1205)" one can infer that your input file is a Matroska file (most likely one created by MakeMKV) and that it contains a subtitle stream marked as default. Therefore what you want can be achieved by e.g. "-disposition:s -default -default_mode infer_no_subs" (the former to disable the default disposition in the input, the latter to not make the muxer infer the disposition for subtitles).
