How to transcode MP4 video with SRT subtitle on AWS Elemental MediaConvert

I have a MP4 video with SRT captions and I need to transcode them with media convert. In media convert I set automatic ABR and I specified the SRT origin path.

At the moment, I have tested the following:

For the first test, the job finish successfully, but on the S3 bucket there isnt any .SRT file. For the second test, the job fails with "aption destination type [SRT] requires a raw muxer." message

This is my JSON for the first test

According to the AWS Elemental MediaConvert user guide, SRT is not a supported output for a DASH-ISO output group when the input caption type is SRT.

Here's a link to that guide (reference page 176): https://docs.aws.amazon.com/mediaconvert/latest/ug/mediaconvert-guide.pdf

The supported caption outputs for SRT input in DASH-ISO are:

  • Burn in
  • IMSC (as sidecar .fmp4)
  • IMSC (as sidecar .xml)
  • TTML (as sidecar .fmp4)
  • TTML (as sidecar .ttml)

Additionally, there is a gap in the documentation. SRT->DASH-ISO+WebVTT is supported, even though it is not listed. The documentation will be corrected, but I wanted to share that with you in case it helps.

If you must send SRT to the output destination, then you could create a separate output group where the caption is in a track with no container (see pages 192-196 in the document).
