How can I convert them to .mp4, so I have a video with subtitles that plays on my iphone? I'm using a Mac, running Leopard. post:ask.metafilter.com,2009:site.111427 Mon, 12 Jan 2009 03:48:01 -0800 spockette mac iphone subtitles resolved http://ask.metafilter.com/111427/Subtitled-videos-on-an-iPhone#1602574 <a href="http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/24830/submerge">Submerge</a> or <a href="http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/27109/roadmovie">RoadMovie</a>. comment:ask.metafilter.com,2009:site.111427-1602574 Mon, 12 Jan 2009 04:05:39 -0800 mrbarrett.com http://ask.metafilter.com/111427/Subtitled-videos-on-an-iPhone#1602644 The above two programs seem to be shareware; <a href="http://www.videohelp.com/tools/mp4box">mp4box</a> will do this for free by converting SRT to MPEG-4 timed text and re-muxing the AVI to MP4, but I don't know of a good GUI for OS X. comment:ask.metafilter.com,2009:site.111427-1602644 Mon, 12 Jan 2009 06:40:57 -0800 Inspector.Gadget http://ask.metafilter.com/111427/Subtitled-videos-on-an-iPhone#1602711 <a href="http://www.ffmpegx.com/">ffmpegx</a> converts every format, and has a subtitle option in the Filter tab that should work for you. comment:ask.metafilter.com,2009:site.111427-1602711 Mon, 12 Jan 2009 07:52:45 -0800 kolophon http://ask.metafilter.com/111427/Subtitled-videos-on-an-iPhone#1603293 I've done this successfully with ffmpegx, but it only worked if I used the mencoder codes, not the ffmpeg ones. comment:ask.metafilter.com,2009:site.111427-1603293 Mon, 12 Jan 2009 14:25:05 -0800 AmbroseChapel
