Playing Embeded Subtitles

[TECH198]

Hi all.

 

When I have a avi with external SRT files, i use Handbrake to burn the external SRT file converting to mp4...

 

when playing in VLC, the subtitles appear, not by default, but i can turn them on. I think this is why they are not showing up when burning the video to DVD, and i am unable to select any subtitles at all, probably because their not on by default..

 

Can toast change this? Do i have to make sure they are on by defult on the file to begin with. ?

When Toast authors a DVD, there is no feature to include selectable subtitles.

You either have to author a VIDEO_TS folder using something else, or start with a video file that has subtitles already burned into the video (and not just as a subtitle track inside the source file).

Actually, I've just solved my own problem..

 

Toast can't do this on its own, but with perian installed, Toast works just fine with subtitles.
