  • What platform did you use? - [x] Linux

3 minute master file: https://storage.googleapis.com/learn-video/Testing/Teeny%20Test.zip
Raw subs track: raw eic track dump.zip

===============================================

This has stumped me. Decoding Final Cut CEA-608 from Master ProRes 422 MOV exports to srt WORKS fine... except the offset is all wrong... the subtitles start exactly at 00:00:01,569. In the sample video the subs should start showing 62550ms into the video... subs are early by a minute.

The only error is this:

Processing track 4, type=clcp subtype=c608
100%  |  59:33Processing track 5, type=text subtype=text
Unsupported track type text:text! Please report.
  0%  |  00:00
Unsupported track type text:text! Please report.

@rayfoss does this happen with all files, or just a specific one?
Of all of them, is it all of them in general or all of them only if they come from Final Cut?
Do the subs play in sync when played with VLC or ffplay?

Happened with all of them... They all come from final cut. We needed to use
that format for DVD authoring :/

But is this problem specific to CCExtractor or also common to VLC, etc?
Maybe final pro is just breaking the 608 data?

Quicktime is the only player I know who can read it... aside from compressor/final cut. Which is extra lame. When it does, it is accurate... I can also use compressor to convert them, those are also accurate... But that's all apple stuff that won't scale

I would agree... if Quicktime and every Apple product that supports it didn't work seamlessly :/

@FossPrime Do you still have this sample, or any other with the same problem?
