How to identify subtitle FORMAT (UTF, ASS, DVB, PGS...)

[DavidRTurner]

DVB format is becoming fairly common in my MKV downloads, but when using Vidcoder to convert to MP4, the DVB subs get hardcoded automatically. Most of the time, UTF is also available, and I only want to use UTF.

I can't find a setting in Vidcoder to either ignore the DVBs, or to prioritize the UTFs. Only to use "first" subtitle of a language, and that's usually the DVB.

I've been using the Filebot Filter to drop a bunch of new files, sort by the subtitle format, and set those files in Vidcoder manually, but it can be a hassle.

I'm now renaming new files with Audio and Subtitle languages, to confirm if there is an English track of each.
I know I can use MediaInfo to identify the formats, but that's an extra step. I'm trying to do this within my Filebot naming.
Is there a way to identify the subtitle formats so I can double-check them before I drop them in the Vidcoder queue?

Yes, you have access too all MediaInfo properties from your custom format / custom filer / etc expression:

Format: Select all

{ text.Format }
