ffmpeg -i pppd896engsub.mkv -ss 00:00:00 -to 01:58:37 -c copy pppd896_trimmed.mkv If you need the subtitles burned-in (permanent on screen), use HandBrake. This is essential for devices that do not support soft subtitles.
Alternatively, if the error is a conversion cutoff, you may need to split the video. To convert the entire file while ignoring the suspicious 015838 flag, use this FFmpeg command. This will copy the video and audio streams (no quality loss) and re-sync the new subtitles. pppd896engsub convert015838 min
HandBrakeCLI -i pppd896engsub.mkv -o pppd896_hardsub.mp4 --subtitle-lang eng --subtitle-burned=1 --subtitle-default=1 --start-at-duration 0 --stop-at-duration 7080 Note: 01:58:38 = 7,118 seconds. Adjust stop duration slightly to avoid corrupt frame. If the 015838 min appears in your original file name (not as an error log), some uploader likely intended to split the video. For example, pppd896engsub.convert.015838.min.mkv could mean "Converted version – first part ends at 01:58:38." ffmpeg -i pppd896engsub
