I want to convert MKV audio from DTS to MP3 and split the file at the same time. The problem is: I need an external .srt but when I split it, the second file is desynced from video.

Example:

ffmpeg -ss 01:00:00 -i videoIN.mkv -ss 01:00:00 -i videoIN.srt -map 0 \
-vcodec copy -acodec libmp3lame videoOUT.mkv -map 1 -c copy videoOUT.srt

The result is perfectly playable but the subs are slightly desynced, probably because the video is cut at the nearest keyframe but subs are cut exactly.

Using accurate seek (-ss before output file) produce a synced sub but the video is unplayable by my stand-alone media player, probably because it starts without a keyframe.

How can i cut the .srt at the nearest keyframe with ffmpeg?

You can sync your srt file with Subtitle Edit. That's a free software.
