MKV Merge subtitle error

[zzyzx2]

I get an error trying to add a sub to an existing mkv file:

Warning: 'C:\Documents and Settings\User\Desktop\German.srt': This file contains coordinates in the timecode lines. Such coordinates are not supported by the Matroska SRT subtitle format. mkvmerge will remove them automatically.


I have used a subtitle that was made in SRT2SUP. I tried a sub saved as a txt and renamed SRT, and when I added the file, MKV merge thought it was a video track!! What do I got to do to make it work?


What I did was take an existing english sub and extract it, then translate it, and am trying to put it back with a different filename.

Why not just use the SRT subs you translated, if that is what you want ? You can take an SRT, convert it to SUP format, then just rename it to SRT

then it cant be added to mkvmerge. also it doesnt work playing it in vlc
