MPG->M4V, Captions

[TonyTTTT]

Is it possible for LosslessCut to copy the Closed Captions in an MPG file when converting to MP4?
The captions are listed as (ffprobe):
Stream #0:1[0x100]: Video: h264 (High) ([27][0][0][0] / 0x001B), yuv420p(tv, bt709, progressive), 1280x720 [SAR 1:1 DAR 16:9], Closed Captions, 59.94 fps, 59.94 tbr, 90k tbn

FWIW, Handbrake does copy them when converting.

tbh i don't know how closed captions work, but maybe choose "copy all mov metadata" or copy all metadata will help. or choose output format mov instead of mp4

The CC in the mpeg is a stream (see OP), so copy all metadata won't work (I did try it though)
LosslessCut discards the stream by default, so I tried enabling it as "captions", and tried MOV, didn't work either.

ffmpeg -f lavfi -i movie="video.mpeg[out+subcc]" -map 0:1 Desktop/out.srt
works on some mpeg, but not all. Not sure what Handbrake does, but it can convert the CC to mp4

When I checked the file in VLC and QT, there were no captions, but I just transferred the file to PLEX, it recognizes the CC, so looks like LosslessCut does transfer the CC when converting from mpg->m4p

maybe you could share the data from Help -> report an error, then i can see how the file actually looks like

[TonyTTTT]

But it's not an error, as LosslessCut is copying the Closed Captions as PLEX can display them, Its VLC and QT that don't have the CC as a Subtitle choice
(I was reviewing the cut in VLC, and posted this question before I moved the file to PLEX)

unfortunately i'm not able to help when i don't know more about your file
