Subtitle help for iPhone edition?

Post by redness » Wed Jun 10, 2009 9:31 pm

I have a .mkv file and I can change the subtitle settings when I'm playing it in my computer (from no subtitles to english).

But whenever I try to convert it I can't seem to add in the subtitles in the subtitle settings.

Anyone have an idea? I'm sorry, I'm really new to this program.

I had the same problem, but I found that if I used the MP3/MP4 Edition that it worked better.
I used MKVExtractGUI to get the sub file out of the .mkv file and then remuxed it with MediaCoder. This seemed to work fine...

Does the MP3/MP4 Edition allow me to skip the whole MKVExtractGUI thing?

No. But to be honest, that part takes a matter of seconds. It seems to be the only way I've found so far of encoding an .mkv with subs. I'll keep playing and PM you if I manage to work it out...
