Hi everybody,
I have been looking for a long time for a way to merge subtitles into a movie to be seen on an iPhone but I haven't found any way to do that so far.
Since FW 1.1.3 this functionality has been added but it seems that nobody is interested. Beware: I DO NOT MEAN HARD-CODED SUBTITLES, as those obtainable through handbrake, videora, etc
I mean SOFT SUBTITLES, the ones that I can turn on and off from my iphone.
What I would like to do is, having an .m4v video file, to add the subtitles to it taken from an .srt/.sub subtitle track having the possibility to turn them on/off in my iphone later.

Does anyone know a way to do that?
Preferably on a mac :-P

Just googled for you, aint I nice.

No idea if this will be any good but it seems like it should do the trick.

submerge does only allow to burn-in subs into the movie file: it is exactly what I said I didn't mean...

if you are in the us and don't mind renting a movie then have a look at this

i "suspect" that the closed captions are embedded into the m4v file.

Edit:
on further searching i found this http://www.apple.com/quicktime/tutor...exttracks.html
http://ncam.wgbh.org/webaccess/magpie/ is a free application to add closed captioning to QT files (is m4v a QT file?)

if you find something then let us know

Hello, I found a good tool to add multiple subtitles on quicktime movie for use with your iPhone or Apple TV.

Its MUXO, first you need to convert the movie from DVD to M4V with Handbrake, then you can use MUXO to add subtitle track (SRT format, I use Jubler to validate it first).

Best regards,

Just drag your mp4 file (which has only video + audio) to MP4TE and do the same for the .srt file and there you go, subs on you iPhone
