Hi,
I've spent 5-6 hours today trying to embed the subtitles into a movie.
I've created the subtitles with Subtitles Workshop. It did not display all characters correctly(if this would be the only issue I would be happy).
I've started by editting the subtitles in a text editor in UTF-8 and then played it in VLC and it was perfect.
then I spent around 1,5 hours trying to make VLC convert/export the movie with the subtitles embedded but couldn't. I believe that it's not possible.
Then I've started searching over the internet, and found some clues about Handbrake being able to help. But Handbreak cannot embed the subtitles in the movie, it would only create a separate track for subtitles (the Forced Only box cannot be ticket for a srt subtitles, and srt is the only one that they accept).
The next one that I've tried is AVIAddXSub. this one worked but there is no UTF-8 support. Even if I selected the proper languge of the subtitles it does not seem to make a difference, and I get some strange signs instead of the right characters. Moreover it does not embed the subtitles in the video it just creates a new separate subtitles track.
I've also tried Freemake Video converter, from a bit strange website... and this one works, but does not display some UTF-8 characters correctly.
The last oen that I've tried is Avidemux. Apparently in v2.6 it has support only for ssa subtitles. I did convert the srt to ssa in Subtitles workshop, but the ssa in Avidemux cannot be configured in terms of Font. I did reduce the font size but with bigger or smaller size you cannot read at all the text, the letters are full, (e.g. there is no space inside the A, it's liek all the letter would be filled with the colour).
Is there any way/software that can embed UTF-8 characters in a movie?
We are talking about english characters with some signs (e.g. the french accents, it's neither cyrilics, nor chineese...)
Thank you
