DVD w/subs to iPod?

[jojo8]

I've succeeded in ripping a DVD to mp4 format and putting it on my iPod. I now want to put one with subtitles on the iPod.

I know that iPod doesn't support .srt subtitle files, so I guess that the subtitles must be merged with the video, somehow.

Is it possible? How could this be done on a Mac (OS X)?

Thanks,
JJ

Several ways, depending upon your level of expertise from
easiest, to hardest.

Play file in VLC, capture in Snapz Pro with Subtitles on (easiest)
ffmpegx merge video with SRT file to hard code subs ( not easy)
Quicktime Pro hard embeddment of Sub Text file (hardest)

take your pick.

I think Instant HandBrake would be easiest way...

Seriban, old friend, if it works as good as the "pro" does,
then yup you got me beat. Tutorial for Handbrake

now if it would just do mkv files in a similar fashion.....!

Well, it should, since its a striped down "pro" version made just for iPod encodings..
