That is exactly what I intended with my command:


>> ffmpeg -i 00001.ts -map 0:0 -map 0:2 -map 0:3 -vcodec copy -acodec copy -scodec dvdsub 00001.mkv


That why I chose "-scodec dvdsub" instead of "-scodec copy".


So the vlc-guys are right when telling that "they" (which means vlc) does everything correctly and the problem lies with the dvdsub encoder?
