I created srt subtitles using suprip. When muxing the subtitles into the mkv files I get the following warning in mkvmerge

"ignoring an entry which starts after end"

Whenever I encountered this error it used to be either the first or last few subtitles that issues with the timing. I would fix it by hand and everything would be fine. This time I am not sure which line is the offending line. Is there a way to get mkvmerge to output the offending line so that one can fix it?

Seems like there are subtitle lines after the movie ended. Just play the movie with the subtitle externally, see which is the last one it displays.

Here's a build that outputs the subtitle number along with the warning: http://www.bunkus.org/videotools/mkvtoolnix/win32/pre/mkvtoolnix-unicode-4.3.0-build20100928-307-setup.exe

I checked the subtitle files by hand it seems fine, obviously the issue is with some line in between rather than towards the end.

Awesome, I will try this out.
