[FFmpeg-user] Unwanted <font> tags in srt

[David Nguyen]

Hi,

I have recently updated ffmpeg to use the latest version 2.8.3 and when
extracting subtitles from an MP4, I get new <font> tags which I would like
to remove. Is it possible to somehow not get them ?

Here's an example:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
$ cat foo.srt
1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:00,000
Mary has a little

2
00:00:00,038 --> 00:00:00,038
lamb.

$ ffmpeg -i audio.mp3 -i foo.srt -c:s mov_text -c:a copy output.mp4
...

$ ffmpeg -i output.mp4 -vn -an -codec:s:0.1 srt foo_extracted.srt
...

$ cat foo_extracted.srt
1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:00,000
<font face="Serif" size="18">Mary has a little</font>

2
00:00:00,038 --> 00:00:00,038
<font face="Serif" size="18">lamb.</font>

Thank you,

David
