Hello everybody. It's a great day to be involved in this hobby, because I know you geniuses will solve my problem quickly! :)
I've made a four minute mocumentary starring my eight year old, and for the first time ever, I'm delving into the world of authoring subtitles. I'm using Handbrake to embed subtitles from an SRT file, and I need to test them out as I go, but neither Windows Media Player or Quicktime will display them. I've turned on the relevant options, as far as I can tell. In QT, under View > Subtitles, there's only one option: Off, which is checked and grayed out. However, MediaInfo shows that there is a text stream with the following attributes.
Text
ID : 3
Format : Timed Text
Muxing mode : sbtl
Codec ID : tx3g
Bit rate mode : Constant
Delay relative to video : 83ms
Language : English
Encoded date : UTC 2013-08-23 14:36:58
Tagged date : UTC 2013-08-23 14:36:58
I've also tried the Direct Play option in Plex Media Server/Client. It didn't show subtitles either, but I read it's not yet supported. I have no other Plex clients available at the moment (I do at home, but I'm not there). This is my end goal, however, to have it set up to stream properly, with embedded subtitles, to a Roku.
Can anyone recommend a free player which will support the text stream and/or another way to test it out? Perhaps a utility to rip the subtitles back out and compare it with what I'm putting in?
