On some occasion, we might want to create our own version, i.e. our own combination of audio and subs languages, maybe even muxing more than one of each.

I came accross some program yesterday, a german TV movie. The only versions they offered was a

  • french dubbed audio with or without french subs
  • original german audio with or without german subs

No option for german audio and french subs (what they would ID as VOA-STF) !

Okay, after few hours playing with the idea, this urns out to be a very deep rabbit hole.

Even if for a specific case one could manage to mix and match, there is just too many assumptions/guessing in the process and I don't see it beeing reliable in the general case (without more exploring, testing, etc...)

To make it "short":

Every video/audio/subtitle combination (a rendition) offered on the different websites (french, german, etc..) references their own set of video/audio/subtitles files.

Our goal was to merge all those and provide a set of:

  • video files differenciated by resolution
  • audio files differenciated by language and/or audiodescription
  • subtitles files differenciated by language and/or hearing impaired

However:

  • the renditions don't necessarly point to the same set of video files (maybe there are some hardcoded translation in the image, or different credits, or, or, or...)
  • the renditions don't necessarly point to the same set of subtitles (a french subtitles track on a french rendition might only be the non-french part of the audio, but a french subtitle on a german rendition will be all the text)

This basically meen that there is no obvious merging strategy. Only a big dump of a lot (too much?) of options/suboptions/subsuboptions...

Unless someone is willing to spend days on this (with no garantied result), awsome. But I will put this asleep for now.
