@pete-s said in What am I doing wrong with ffmpeg:
Can you have both ass and srt in the same container and have it working?
Yes, it works perfectly.
Edit: To be more precise, using the "working" multi-step process above, the mux that adds the ass files shows this. So it seems to be converting it. But I can also force it to srt, and various examples from search results show people mixing srt and ass with no issues.
