Hello All
a bit of an odd one.
Have been using Handbrake for converting a few of my movies to iPod format (m4v format)
A couple of the movies have forced subtitles in them. Handbrake handles these fine, although the subtitles had to be added from an external file (SRT file). Because of this Handbrake cannot burn in the subtitles.
When you play back the m4v file in either Quicktime or on the iPod itself you have to manually turn on the subtitles.
Question - is there any way to set a flag in the actual m4v file so that it always plays the subtitle track in the m4v file? I know that on my iPod I can select to always play subtitles, but I have some purchased iTunes movies, and it would mean that the ordinary subtitles on these movies would play (I don't want to have to keep turning that option on and off) It would be better if the player (Quicktime) just knew that there was a subtitle track in the movie and played that one by default.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.
