View Full Version : Sub-TItles in Alternate Movie-Only mode?

I did a movie only backup to BD-25 of Tourist which worked fine. I then changed the output to alternate movie-only with the iPad 1024 mode selected. No other changes were made. English sub-titles appear when foreign language is spoken in the BD-25 version, but not the iPad version. Am I doing something wrong? or is this just the way the program works? I have English subtitles selected in both modes.
Thanks.

Thanks. The iPad doesn't support subtitles.

Thanks. Saves me from keeping on trying. That's not a bad idea though. Maybe I should scan the subtitles and insert "forced" subtitle into the output as a part of the video. There are some films that just don't make any sense without them (like "District 9" and "Avatar").

That would be nice. Also some movies (Da Vinci Code, Tourist for example have foreign language speakers with forced english subtitles that don't make a lot of sense with out them.) If the subtitles could be merged into the video itself the iPad should then display them. (I think.)

However, let the user opt out :)

I've lately been experimenting with using Ripbot264 to resize my movie only BD-25 output from BD-RB for the iPad so I can have forced subtitles. I am able to find which subs are the Forced Subs by looking in the BD-RB Working folder (assuming it was the last movie encoded) with BDsuptosub and then picking that subtitle to be burned into the mp4 output with RipBot264. It seems to work so far on the one's I've tried. (Taken, Angels and Demons, Davinci Code). RipBot seems to be a gui for a number of open source/freeware programs that are doing the encoding. It might be worth taking a look at how they are doing it to see if a similar function could be added to Alternate Movie-Only output.
