Before I give up - any advice?
Im trying to convert the mkvs I made from my blurays and DVDs (with makemkv) to mp4 but preserve softcoded subs. I think i've read every post pertaining to this on the forum. I've tried a multitude of programs (handbrake, subler, ivi, mkvtools, media xcode, dvd catalyst, etc) without success. I could render no PGS subs in handbrake but this was otherwise excellent. Dvd catalyst was also quite good but burns in the subs.
The stumbling block for me is the subtitles. These are not an option for us - we need them. But I'm picky and want them softcoded.
Currently i use a nettop with xbmc that plays everything perfectly. But we use our appletv for photos, music, itunes, etc and id like to be able to simply access everything on the apple tv. (Ive jailbroken it and have xbmc on it but it chokes on the bluray mkvs).
Any ideas or is this just not do-able at this moment?
