If I had to guess your exact goal:
You have a file named
midv912engsub.mkv(or.mp4) that contains a video with English subtitles. You want to convert it to a more compatible format (e.g., MP4) and also cut it starting from 1 hour, 58 minutes, 56 seconds, keeping the subtitles correctly synced.
Optimal command (FFmpeg):
ffmpeg -ss 01:58:56 -i midv912engsub.mkv -c:v libx264 -c:a aac -vf "subtitles=midv912engsub.mkv:si=0" output_final.mp4
Or if you want soft subtitles in MKV:
ffmpeg -ss 01:58:56 -i midv912engsub.mkv -c copy -map 0 output_soft.mkv
GUI alternative (HandBrake):
Use the Range start time = 01:58:56 and select “English” subtitles → “Passthru” or “Burn In”.
If you want a clearer filename like midv912_engsub_01-58-56.mp4:
mv "midv912.mkv" "midv912_engsub_01-58-56.mkv"
mv midv912_converted.mp4 midv912_engsub_01-58-56.mp4

If you have multiple files like midv9XXengsub, create a script.
Windows batch example:
for %%f in (midv*engsub.mkv) do (
ffmpeg -i "%%f" -ss 01:58:56 -c copy "trimmed_%%f"
)
Bash/macOS:
for f in midv*engsub.mkv; do
ffmpeg -i "$f" -ss 01:58:56 -c copy "trimmed_$f"
done
Before converting or cutting, identify your source file. MIDV-912 is a catalog number commonly associated with mainstream Asian video content (often from studios like Moodyz). The file you possess could be in various containers:
