    How do I convert .mkv with subtitles to .mp4?


    Recently I've tryed converting a .mkv file to a .mp4 file for my ipod using Handbrake. The origanal .mkv file sayed it had subtitles, so I thought that all I had to do was convert it to a .mp4.The convertion worked well (like Handbrake usually does) but the subtitles didn't show. So just to make sure they were really there, I put the .mkv file into the progam VLC and the subtitles were there.

    So the .mkv has subtitles but I can't get them into the same .mp4 file using Handbrake. Anyfree suggestions?

    Make sure you told handbrake to add a subtitle track.

    If I remember correctly, .mp4 does not support soft subtitles, and Handbrake cannot burn .SRT's into the picture.

    I did some reading up on the issue (since the only video's Ive converted had subtitles but were MKV), Totenschlaggh is correct in saying MPEG4 files can't do subtitles. Now... AVI and MPEG2 files can.

    Not sure on the MPEG2 but AVI can be done with VirtualDubMod. Guide for it here: How to convert matroska MKV to AVI or OGM to AVI

    So I tryed using the subtitle section in Handbrake, but that didn't work so I tryed using VirtualDubMod but the program didn't work. So if any one knows how I can get that to work, that would be grait.

    If you do not succeed, try Format Factory. The subtitle settings are on the bottom of Output settings on the second page (after you selected e.g. Avi and added your file). Click on the individual items of Additional Subtitle and you can roll down the options on the right. That program works real well.

    Get your mkv embedded with the subtitles and then convert it to MP4. This may be a possible solution. ( I make my mkv files from BDs with DVD Fab and with subtitles directly rendered on to the video.)
