When is anyone going to start using the closed captioning feature built into quicktime, I have them turned on and have yet to see anything use them.

Are these soft-subs (i.e., selectable subtitles) or burned-in subs?

Judging that you can watch them on your iPod, I would say that they are "burned-in" subtitles; but, don't quote me on that.

I'm using Submerge and what I've seen, it's adding subtitles into extra text track within QT container. Don't mix it with recent cc from iTune movies. Although you can manualy (in QT) de-select this text track (so you don't see subtitles), you can't do it in iPod/iPhone - subtitles are always on

I don't really use subtitles but I would like to seem them as options everywhere, which includes iTunes and my iPod. Accessibility never hurt anyone.

What does this do that Handbrake doesn't?

HandBrake doesn't let you add subtitles from external source, just from DVD --- and will 'burn' them into the movie. The comparable (maybe) solution can be VisualHub, but the way of adding subtitles in VH is quite awkward (encoding via QuickTime) and takes unbelievably long time.

I voted no, but that's because I don't use iTunes to watch anything besides Apple DRM content. For the vast majority of my library, I use VLC or MPlayer, and sub support is fine in those.

I would love to have the ability to watch a DVD with the commentary. That'd be worthwhile. Subtitles don't mean anything to me.

little bit confusing note on Submerge -- ie. you 'don't need' Submerge for subtitles -- as Roadmovie has Submerge features already embedded (at least that's my understanding). I think the main difference is batch processing (and price -- $10 more for Roadmovie)

For non-english speaking countries subtitles are essential. It's the only way to watch shows that will not ever be released here. As an example, AppleTVs are not very successful but HDs that support the DivX+Srt combo sell like hotcackes as cheap media servers.
On the main topic, I'd really like to know if there's any utility that converts from srt to Quicktime subtitle format.

apple's support for subtitles is a joke, and submerge itself is a poor, expensive, hack. QuickTime Pro can do exactly what submerge does (add a text track to a movie), but neither can add subtitles in a format compatible with Apple TV 2/iphone 1.1.3. I spent 6 hours finding this out yesterday. I cannot believe Apple was demoing subtitle support on iPhone when there is no way for someone to add them even with quicktime pro, but they did.

Subtitles are important for many reasons, accessibility or perhaps you're not watching the same old drab hollywood film and watching something foreign?!

Ok, there is support for the Elgato Turbo, but am I wrong, I thought, if you have any given srt files you can just throw them into the Turbo app and it will merge them? (if you want to have subtitles to play everywhere)

There is a free tool (VideoDrive) that lets you import videos in batch in iTunes, including SRT subtitles (without reconversion or hard coding the subtitles). It is called VideoDrive (http://www.aroona.net). The current version has some shortcomings, but a new version will be released shortly.

I just use Handbrake, if you go into the options you can have it encode the movie with subtitles, its just ends up taking a lot longer to finish but its FREE!!!!

I like the option of subtitles. It would be nice if more encoding software made this an easier process, of if more media players (including iTunes and iPods) included a simple subtitle-support standard comparable to VLC's subtitle file support.

I would also like to specify that I like the option of no subtitles too. Is it really that hard to adopt a digital video subtitle file standard that allows one to use subtitles and customize their settings (size, timing, etc.)?

Deaf people need captions/subtitles!
Let's not go back in time 30 years, and leave thousands of Americans out.
