Mavericks + Quicktime and forced subtitles in TV Shows and movies
I have noticed that when I now open a TV Show or a movie from my external drive (M4V files) forced subtitles will not show. They don't even appear in the subtitles menu so I can manually enable them.
I usually use Subler to edit my shows and movies' metadata and add SRT subtitles after I download them. This has worked flawlessly in my Mac and my iPhone until I updated to Mavericks, so it must be related.
However, if the subtitle track is not checked, Quicktime automatically enables it (I suppose that's because default audio in OS X is Spanish but the audio track in the file is English). I'm not sure if VLC has changed its behaviour too (That would be strange, but forced subtitles don't appear either).
I have over 355 GB of TV Shows and about 2,1 TB of movies that I wouldn't want to edit, so is there any solution to this, like a hidden preference I hae not found yet? Thanks in advance!
You can also spend a few days searching for "creating custom screen graphics for movies." Try youtube but you wil lfind better stuff on vimeo. Many fo the motiongraphics forums have discusssion areas where artists will share their methods. Lopok carefully for behind the scenes features and docos created by the artists.
However, After Effects is only where the animation happens. You design and previsualize your effects in other applications. Well, there are some fabulous presets you can purchase but, of course, they are relatively expensive. Once your familiarity with AE goes beyond the most basic stuff, you wil appreciate why presets and effects packages cost what they do.

Hi all,
Can anyone tell me WHY a .mov file cannot be played on the new version of Quicktime??? Isn't a .mov a quicktime file?
I just bought a new HD video camera thinking it would be great to record on a card and easy to download to my computer to use in iMovie. but NOOOOO The camera records movies as .mov.
I have been reading the threads on this and everyone talks about codec and what not.
CAN SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME IN SIMPLE STEPS.. WHAT I HAVE TO DO TO GET MY .MOV FILES TO BE PLAYED AND IMPORTED INTO iMovie?
HELP HELP HELP! Are there any programs I could buy that would help?
I know I'm asking a lot... but I really want to know
Thanks in advance, SharonaI don't have the brand name,Something like "Aveteck"? but it takes .mov at 1280x720 at 30fps or 720 x 480 at 30fps. It says in the manual that the pc requirements for HD movies is OS 10 + and QuickTime 7.0 and higher. Thanks

How to get subtitles on tv shows bought with iTunes ?
Although i reside in Belgium ( Europe ) i have two accounts.
One has access to the US Store in iTunes, the other one is for purchases in Belgium.
I have bought several US TV Shows, but i never seem able to get dutch subtitles for these shows or movies i buy.
Is there a how-to somewhere to get the subtitles in the language that you want ?
Any help is appreciated ofcourse.
Thanks !you can use iSubtitle to add soft subtitles to files purchased from the iTunes store.
find the subtitles on e.g. http://www.opensubtitles.org/en -
I've begun ripping my blu rays to digital format so I can store them on my NAS and access them from any device. Movies without subtitles work great, I simply use MP4 passthrough and all is well. I'm having issues with videos that have forced subtitles. I'm assuming I need to mux the video, audo and subtitle streams into an .M4V. I'm not sure how to do this. What format must the subtitle be in? SRT, AAS? Will Subler work?
My intention is that have the subtitles show no matter what. I don't want to fiddle with enabling them and disabling them. I want to watch the movie in itunes or an iOS device and have the subtitles show up without doing anything.cmanion wrote:
They are blu rays purchased before the advent of digital copies being included. What do you suggest I do? Repurchase the movies I already own?
We cannot help you on this board. What you ask is illegal to do in the United States. As Lyssa says, "You will have to search elsewhere for help." However, purchasing the movies from the iTunes Store is a legal option. -
I have downloaded a video with subtitle. When playing the edited video, the subtitle does not show up in the entire video. The subtitle comes and goes in the video.I have tried with my Mac Pro and Mac Air, with the same result. I have downloaded movie with subtitle before and never had this problem. Please advise.
I'm not very knowledgable on this but subtitles are sometimes on a separate track from the main movie. Try opening the downloaded video in Quicktime Player and saving it - you may be asked if you want to "flatten movie". Choose to do this. The resulting movie will probably now work OK. Others may be able to supply more comprehensive instructions.

Using Mavericks' Spelling and Grammar in a Pages document causes Pages to freeze, Must Force Quit. How can I fix this problem?
Mavericlks Spelling and Grammar works in Pages when used manually. And it works automatically in Text and email.Another autocorrect bug:
I type a lot of lyrics, which tend to cotain words like ’cause and ’em instead of because and them.
I've set up autocorrect instances to change a plain apostrophe with an ending, single curly quote for these words, but they are invariably changed to a beginning, single curly quote mark by Pages. The only way I can get the correct curly quote is to type over the wrong quote manually and hope that I don't have to edit the rest of the word again, as this would cause autocorrect to kick in again and change the quote to the wrong, beginning curly mark again.
Does anyone know how to get around this tedious problem? -

how come my mac isnt showing my external hard drive after installing os x maverick? and how to i fix that??
How do you mean it isn't showing the external drive? If you mean on the desktop, click Finder on the menu bar, Preferences, General and check the boxes for Show these items on the desktop - make sure hard drives is checked.
If you mean it is not showing in Finder or Disk Utility, make sure it is turned on, reboot and see if that mounts it so it shows up. -
hello .. i am using mavericks OS and it is showing it needs updates about 800 meg. and every time i download that it dosent do anything and again it is beginig to download again and again that.. please help me. the update is 10.9.2
To answer the post title FireFox save all downloads automatically in the download folder, which you can find in the Documents folder. If you want to choose where to save your downloads go to tools>options>check always ask me where to save files.
Secondly, I am assuming you have IE 8 installed as this is the only version that supports this fix that is currently not in beta. Go to control panel>internet options>advanced tab and reset the settings at the bottom. This may or may not fix the problem but it is a good first step. -
Hi, I'm trying to burn my Imovie project to a dvd. I went to share it to iDvd and there was no option to do so. Instead I shared it to quicktime and the project didnt show up when i tried to open it in iDvd. I also tried sharing it to media browser and it didnt show up either. Please help me!
While we all have MacBooks in this forum not all of us use iMovie. There's a iMovie Support Community where everybody uses iMovie. You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer. https://discussions.apple.com/community/ilife/imovie

Recently upgraded from Snow Leopard to Lion then Mavericks. I have Final Cut Express and when I export to Quicktime, and open to play the movie, Quicktime starts to "convert" it? What is this about????
My existing movies are all the following types straight from FinalCut
Apple Intermediate Codec, 1920 × 1080, Millions
16-bit Integer (Little Endian), Stereo, 48.000 kHz
This particular movie is 6.66 Gb
The new Quicktime player in OS Mavericks converts these to the following format:
Apple ProRes 422, 1920 x 1080
Linear PCM, 16 bit little-endian signed integer, 2 channels, 48000 Hz
And a movie size of 6.48 Gb
Please, please can someone tell me why? -

I installed mavericks today and the mail will not open and just keeps on not responding how do I get it back I have force quit it a number of times now
Open the system menu via Alt+Space or click the Firefox icon on the title bar and see if you can resize that window.
If that works then close Firefox to save that setting.

there is panel in the upper right corner of my screen that says 'copy' preparing to duplicate to "desktop". I clicked stop three days ago and it is still trying to stop. Tried to 'force quit' does not show up in finder, looked in activity monitor but i am not sure how it is listed. I am new to the mac world.
Force quit/Restart the Finder.
Then for safety...
Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.
