Hi,

I'm not sure if this topic is placed in the right forum. If not: sorry for that!

recently I bought a Apple TV. A friend of mine had a whole bunch of movies on an external hard disc. These were all m4v files. With iTunes and Apple TV I play those movies on my television. Unfortunately they didn’t had subtitles. In Europe (Belgium) it is common to watch movies with subtitles.
Often the .srt file is easy to find and with VLC media player it is possible to insert them “hard”. Problem is that they aren’t synchronized to each other. For AVI movies the srt file is easy to sync with Subsync. Till now I didn’t find a tool to do the same with m4v files. Somebody told me that GOM player was able to do the job but then I get the message not having the right codec. The link GOM gives for this doesn’t work. Could it be that the DRM protection gives those problems?

Does anybody know the good practice or has some useful tips how to solve this? By the way, my OS is Windows XP :eek:. A Mac will be bought in one of the next months :).

Any answer will be highly appreciated and I would like to thank you in advance for it.

Nice greetings,

Flurk
