Multiple Subtitles

Post by XVirusX »

How can I add multiple (in my case, just 2) soft subtitles using MKV or MP4 containers in HB?
If multiple subtitles is not possible in HB, what about just 1 SOFT subtitle?
If not even that is possible... what program should I turn to for support in this?
Thanx.

Soft subtitles are not available within Handbrake.

I'm not too sure about available tools for mp4, but for softsubs in mkv you could try the following which has worked for me.
  • Encode feature in Handbrake.
  • Rip/obtain subtitles in vobsub or srt format.
  • Mux the subtitles into the feature using mkvmerge

In my jump from AVI to newer formats/containers, I just found out that PS3 does not support MKV nor OGM.
Based on this, I will now have to gear towards MP4.
Does anyone else know a way to have soft subs in MP4 formats?

Subler can do it, but that's Mac only.

It doesn't really matter, as the PS3 has very little in terms of soft subtitle support (AFAIK, only XSUB is supported - aside from DVD and Blu-Ray subtitles, of course)…
