Apple tv subtitle problem

I just bought the Avengers through itunes and im playing it through apple tv. When a scene comes up that requires subtitles, i get a double subtitle type thing going on. I see the subtitles i recognized from seeing the movie in theatres, but then a matte shadowed bar pops up also, with its own set of the same subtitles that show up a little bit lower then the original set of subtitles. Anyone know why this is happening?

The issue has been fixed. Just a simple redownload from the cloud is needed. Make sure you delete the copy in the itunes library before redownloading. Heres the email I got today:

Apple TV Subtitles problem

Hello!
Yesterday I rented a movie with subtitles on many languages on my Macbook Pro. I decided that I to stream it to Apple TV. All good but when I tried to activate the subtitles, the only ones showing were the one in English and were the one on Closed Captions. If I continued to watch the movie on my Macbook, I could select the subtitles in spanish, french and many other availables.
How can I solve this? Has anyone experience this?
Thanks!!!

Check the video being played back on your Mac - occasionally subtitles are burned into the video rather than being optional, either due to a glitch with the file (use the Report a Problem link in your invoice) or by design.
Avengers Assemble had both burned in and 'soft' subtitles at some points until they corrected it meaning there were 2 sets of overlapping subtitles in some scenes!

Apple TV Subtitles glitch

Why are subtitles appearing and staying on the screen when I am playing a movie on Apple TV and how do I get rid of them? I have the original Apple TV and this issue has just started, but has appeared on three movies. It's very distracting and I don't want to buy any more movies via iTunes if there isn't a "cure".

This is happening to a lot of people, on your recipt reply to Apple about the problem with the movie, they will refund your money.

Has Apple acknowledged the problem yet with itunes aborting preview of songs after about 10 seconds on windows 7 and if so is there an answer other than ipconfig?

Has Apple acknowledged the problem yet with itunes aborting preview of songs after about 10 seconds on windows 7 and if so is there an answer other than ipconfig? IPConfig /flushdns doesn't help at all. Until they fix it I will be previewing and buying my songs thru Amazon.

Doublechecking ... do you still get that if you update to iTunes 10.6.3.25 (just released today)?

Has Apple fixed the problem with 4G cellular connection?

Has Apple fixed the problem with 4G cellular connection on the iPad 3?

Cellular connection problem was for US connection in Houston, Texas. Have an iPad 2 which functions perfectely on Wi-Fi or 3G. Bought an iPad 3 strictly to get the increased speed from the 4G LTE connection. Purchased on with the AT &T cellular. Wi-Fi functions fine, but 4G LTE connection is terrible when it connects at all. Went to AT&T and they said no problems with service in my area, but never get over 2 bars and most times, Web pages load very slow or will hang and not load at all. Went to the Apple store and they said it was AT&T network problem and went to AT&T and they said no problems with their service. Went to the Apple communities forum here and discovered that many people were having the same problems with the 4G LTE cellular connection on their iPad 3's. Didn't seem to matter if it was AT&T or Verizon. So I decided that I would just return the unit and wait for Apple to fix the problem. Hence my question.
Appreciate very much your time in responding to my question.

Apple has a problem and the cant solve it. I had some very important call but this new iphone just shut down on me and wont turn on i tried everything u can find in apple support nothing works for me. Anyone know what i can do?

I would instead say you have a problem since nearly all IPs work as advertised. IF you do have a bad phone, take it into an Apple store and get a replacement. Hope you didn't jailbreak your phone though as Apple probably will tell you, you broke it, you fix it.

I bougth Time machine 2GB 4th generation, Apple solves the problem of overheating in powersupply?

I have two questions...
1. Apple solves the problem of overheating in powersupply?
2. can i see temperature on Mac OS?
thanks for you answer...

1. Apple solves the problem of overheating in powersupply?
Each new generation of Time Capsules has run cooler than the last. Solved? Hard to know in advance. Plan to give the Time Capsule plenty of free airspace on all sides.
2. can i see temperature on Mac OS?
No, but the Time Capsule's light will blink amber to signal that temperatures may be too high.

Hi Ginada
Feedback to Apple can be made via the Safari Menu>Report Bugs to Apple selection, or here. Apple doesn't respond to either; rather, uses the information for internal purposes.
Your alternative, if in the US and machine is under warranty including telephone support, would be to call Apple Care. 800-275-2273

Subtitle problems with Encore CS4 and BD/Blu-ray -- here is a solution!

Do you have problems with subtitles: for example they vanish completely after doing fast forward or turn them off and on again. Then here you can find one possible solution.
I am using Windows Vista 32bit. Thus Encore CS4 is the last version which I can use. Because Adobe will never provide a solution for this version, I was looking for another solution.
At least I found a workaround for my subtitle problems.
Now I am doing the following steps:
1. Create the blu-ray disk in a folder without subtitles
2. Create the subtitles with a program like "subtitle workshop"
3. Save the subtitles in the .srt format.
4. Use the program SubConverter Express v1.5.0 to convert the subtitles in the .sup format. Here you must choose a suitable font & font size.
5. Add the .sup to the blu-ray folder structure with the program BDFix Express v1.7.3. When doing that, you can also choose the language i.g. "deu" for german. You will find a detailed description in the forum on www.defsoft.com. It is very easy to understand.
6. BDFix will create a new folder with all necessary files to burn a blu-ray disk. Nothing changes in comparison to the folder which was createt by Encore except that subtitles were added.
7. You can burn this folder with a tool like imgburn.
With this workaround you will have the following advantages:
1. It seems that these subtitles were added in a blu-ray specification conform way. Fast forward/backward, switching on/off, chapter jump still work perfectly.
2. The subtitle fonts are rendered in a much more smooth way than Encore does.
3. The 5 frames gap between subtitles is not longer necessary.
4. This solution ist quite fast (about 20 minutes for a 25 GByte disc).
5. You can use these programs also for other blu-rays to add or remove subtitles.
6. You do not need Encore to add/change or remove subtitles. You can do that also years later. You only need the burned blu-ray disc.
To be honest, there is one disadvantage:
- The two programs (SubConverter & BDFix) cost about 200 US Dollar. But to cure my nerves that was worth it.
Hint: You can do a first test with the freeware versions. But there are two limitations. SubConverter can only import 30 subtitle lines and BDFix will only create 3 minutes of subtitles.
Greetings,
Ralf

FLV and F4V use different codecs for Flash video. H.264 in case of F4V and On2 VP6 for FLV. There's a difference of bitrate between different quality presets. You can check the bitrates of files generated using some tool. Your video might be very static to feel the different be the two quality settings.
F4V is the new format and need a newer version of Flash Player. Please update your Flash player and try again to play the F4V files.
Playstream doesnt support F4V format. You can only export FLV files to Playstream.
It might also be an issue of low bandwidth while playing a streaming video. Are you playing is locally or from a web server.

Apple TV color problems

I just bought a Toshiba LED TV. My photos on my Apple TV all show up with a heavy magenta color, and the contrast looks like an Andy Warhol painting. I have switched HDMI cables but it remains the same. Help.

Really? Doesn't seem like an answer to me, looks more like a "We didn't make the Netflix app, go ask them instead" LOL

Apple TV streaming problems with itunes

Apple TV streaming problems. Since recent last update to AppleTV when I try to streams movie or tv show from iTunes sometimes it is fine sometimes it takes hours (Hd or Sd). No problem with netflix. Wifi is not super strong in location but this was not a problem at all before update. Any suggestions?
Paul

ok.
this is not a solution to your problem, but you didn't need to do that just to remove it from appletv. you could have simply unticked the item in your library and that would have made it not available to appletv. you could also have amended your sync options. you don't need to delete something from your library just to remove it from appletv.
however back to your problem. it sounds like the appletv is not syncing the changes to your library. you should restart your appletv and see if that forces the change.
