Soft subtitles in .mp4

Post by jules »

Hi, I know this ist a topic that has been already discussed, but I couldn't find any clear answers. So here are my questions:

1. Is it possible to add multiple soft subtitles to a .mp4 file with Handbrake?

2. If not, is there any other program (for windows) that can do it?

3. If it's not possible at all, how can I stop Handbrake from making those "Chapter" subtitles?

Thanks!

1.No,
2.Yes, (don't know of any good examples off head)
3.What chapter subtitles? You mean chapter markers which appear in the chapter selection dropdown in quicktime? (turn of chapter markers if thats what your talking about)

When I play the video in VLC, theres always one subtitle track called "Track 1". When selected it just says "Chapter 1", "Chapter 2" and so on.

that's how VLC displays the text track that Quicktime uses as a chapter track

mp4te doesn't work, I have no idea why. The program just crashes when I click "Batch Generate"

Maybe because of high profile settings?

What does "Filename Header" mean?
