The vast majority of the time you can just drag-drop your video into VisualHub and click on Start. Wait 2hours. And you're done.so after reading all 14 pages seems there is no easy way to do this???

I know there is Handbrake. It does almost everything except "burning" subtitles. Also it crashes quite frequently.
Um... actually Handbrake does "burn" subtitles to the video. Click the Audio & Subtitles tab and you'll find the menu in the lower left of the window. I can't help you with the crashing bit, HB 0.9.3 never crashes on me.

How it recognizes that I want English audio, but french subtitles, for instance?
I guess this option will work in next version, not in 0.9.3.
Anyway, thank you.
Why don't you just download the appropriate subtitles at some site such as opensubtitles.org, download a program called Muxo? Muxo will allow you to add subtitles that are compatible with AppleTV and iPod.
You can use Handbrake in it latest version very well to convert MKV movies into AppleTV movies. I use submerge to add the subtitle in the second stage.
But be carefull with submerge, use the right setting so it will not re-encode the movie again but just add the subtitle. This adding will only take minutes then.

Yes, I know about this application called Muxo. I guess I have the latest version. I am able to open video file with one audio track without any problems, adding subtitles is also hassle free, but immediatelly once I choose "Save" or "Save As", it crashes. My OS is 10.5.6 with all updates installed.
The second thing is that none of Mac applications supports ASS subtitles, extracted from some MKV movies. I prefer to extract subtitles from source file instead of downloading another subtitles. They are usually a bit different (time, speed and so on).
Why is Windows better in this?![]()
Yes, there is "option" subtitles, but I tried it many times and it has never worked. Even it would I don't know the logic of it. You cannot choose, what subtitles you want to burn. My movie has more than one subtitles, but HandBrake shows option "autoselect". What is autoselect. How it recognizes that I want English audio, but french subtitles, for instance?
I guess this option will work in next version, not in 0.9.3.
Anyway, thank you.
Autoselect is for enabling subtitles for foreign language segments, e.g. Audio is in English, and there are segments where French is spoken, then a subtitle track will only be enabled during those French segments. This option is usually best selected with the "forced" option as well.
If using the CLI you have the native language options, where you tell HB what your native language is, and it will automatically select the subtitles matching your native language when the audio language doesn't match your native language.
Note that the Mac GUI has a similar option, however it is used to select the audio language, i.e. dub.
As for why no subtitles show up when you input a MKV, HandBrake *only* supports reading subtitles from DVD inputs in 0.9.3.

So Handbrake does a passthrough of the video without any quality loss? And also results in a file that streams? Sorry if I missed this in the thread but I was unaware that Handbrake could do this.
You did not miss anything. HB does not do video passthrough. HB will re-encode your source.
oh.....well that's still not an easy way then.
I think there is a fair bit of demand for it, I could certainly do with it as at the moment I am lost on how to mux subtitles into MP4 that are softcoded.it is of no use
Doesn't submerge or muxo work for you?I think there is a fair bit of demand for it, I could certainly do with it as at the moment I am lost on how to mux subtitles into MP4 that are softcoded.

Sigh.
This thread is a loss for me and really confusing.
Downloaded 720p MKV
The Best process to retain HD quality is to use Handbrake with the ATV Preset?
Yes,No
Does this retain 5.1 sound?
Can the same thing be done with a 1080p MKV
Is VisualHub Better?
