I see lots of posts talking about how you can import 'srt' files, etc, but my subtitles are already contained within the MKV file, so they aren't importable. mp4 file, and choose 'subtitle'/sub-track-Track 1 (English), I see just 'chapter (x)' in the place where subtitles should appear. If I do choose just one subtitle, and do the remux, then when I play the resulting.

I don't actually NEED more than just the English subtitle in this case, so I don't specifically care that I can't add multiple, but the bigger issue is the problem that the subtitles aren't appearing in the output. The only options on the subtitle tab are Mode: 'Render' and Codec: MOV text. I can select one of these, then click the 'right arrow' to send it to the output side, but when I choose the second subtitle on the left, and click the 'right arrow', it REPLACES the item on the right, rather than adding to the list. In XMedia-Recode, I set video and audio to 'copy', and on the 'subtitle' tab, all the subtitles show on the left (eg, 1. This works great (the remux only takes seconds) and the video plays well in iTunes/on the Apple TV.

I've used Xmedia-Recode to remux the MKV movies into MP4 movies (also tried MOV, same results). I rip the subtitles in such a way that they are selectable that is, I don't 'burn' them into the video I can turn them off/on at will and I believe the correct term is, they are an 'overlay'.īut now I have an Apple TV and want to play my movies on it, 'streaming' from iTunes on my MacBook. When I rip using Handbrake, I make sure to get all the subtitle tracks over, and they are fully functional in the MKV file when I play them in VLC, and in various other tools (including Western Digital LiveTV player). My partner is deaf and we rely heavily on subtitles. I have a huge library of movies originally ripped to MKV using Handbrake. Hello everyone - it's been a while since I was here!
