Srt subtitles on Apple TV

Hi, I have this home made movie AVI+SRT subtitle file that I want to watch on my Apple TV. Can someone explain me the process to do this without "paste" the subtitles by using submerge? is it posible? I know that Apple Tv has a subtitle option on settings for Rentals movie that actually has CC but how this works in a home made movie?
thanks!

Hi tmartine thanks for your replay, but Quicktime is not the problem, actually I can perfectly watch the movie with the srt subtitles in Quicktime by using perian. The thing is How to do the same in the Apple Tv without having to paste the subtitles in the film using submerge.
thanks anyway

    Hi,
    thanks for the quick replies.
    So sorry if I asked for something that it´s not "proper" for this forum, but they say:

  • Adding SRT subtitles to FCPX or FCP7 timelines

    I made an App called Final SRT for importing SRT subtitle to Final Cut Pro X or Final Cut Pro 7. Many people had been asking for this for a long time. You can buy it from Mac App Store.
    I may receive some form of compensation, financial or otherwise, from my recommendation or link.

    Actually, I've been playing around with the new Closed Caption Importer component
    http://developer.apple.com/samplecode/ClosedCaptionImporter/index.html
    I like the look of it and it just needs to be fleshed out to be more user friendly for the creation of captions, but it's following a standard that allows the captions to be inside the movie file. (Some of the tools I've found convert .scc to .srt.. with QuickTime able to read the .scc, it should make it easier)

  • Multi-line .srt subtitle support?

    I've got a foreign language film .m4v with soft-embedded .srt subtitles. (I used Subler to add the .srt track) In subtitle editors like Jubler, the subtitles are spanned across two lines. These display as two lines of dialogue in Quicktime in 10.6.2, but on my AppleTV (v 3.0.2) they display as one line, so the text ends up getting truncated with "..." on the end.
    So for example:
    In QT:
    A brave man sheds blood
    before he sheds tears.
    In ATV:
    A brave man sheds blood before he sheds ...
    Am I using the wrong character to do a "newline"?

    Anyone? Nobody else has used multi-line subtitle tracks?
    Should I be submitting this to Apple Bugs?

  • Tip: (Cyrillic) .srt subtitles with QuickTime Player!

    Thanks to the great team that is behind the Perian project we can now watch XviD, DIvX, whatever codec video content complete with .srt subtitle tracks inside QuickTime Player, Front Row and everywhere else you can play quicktime files. The function is not part of the Perian version available for download just yet, you have to compile it yourself using Apple's Xcode tools and the source code available from perian.org via subversion, but it is really, really easy! I've posted detailed instructions on my blog at http://etosx.blogspot.com for those who have not played with Xcode.

  • Movies which are played with itunes are missing 2nd line of subtitles therefore apple tv 2 misses these also. How so?

    Movies converted from MKV via Handbrake which are played with itunes are missing 2nd line of subtitles therefore apple tv 2 misses these also. Funny is that Quicktime and Ipad 2 handles subtitles correctly on the same moviefile.
    (please note that the subtitles are not burned into movie)
    What can be the problem?
    Has anyone suggestions?
    Thanks in advance

  • How to create SRT subtitle files?

    Hi. I created some movies in iMovie and published them to iTunes, where they appear as "QuickTime movie files". I want to add subtitles to these movies, and to some m4v movies. I know how to use iSubtitle to add subtitles to a movie, but that is when I already have an SRT subtitles file. I do not know how to create an SRT subtitle file from scratch. Does anyone know what product / editor to use to create SRT files? Thank you

    I found out the Max TextEdit software can be used for this ...

  • How can I convert video with srt subtitles?

    If I have an avi plus an .srt subtitles file, how can I convert this to play on the iPad?
    If, on my iMac, I use Quicktime, I can save the avi as .mov with hard subs.  But when I convert this .mov to mp4, the subtitles disappear.

    Why go to all the trouble of converting? Why not just download an app that can play .avi files with subtitle support?

  • Convert .srt subtitles

    How do I convert a .srt subtitle file to import into DVDSP4? I'm new to using subtitles and have no idea how they work. All I know is I have the movie imported fine, but I was given subtitles as a .srt file. What do I do? Any help is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks all

    After some research, I found a nice program that will import the srt file (TitleLAB). I then export it for DVD Studio Pro. However, when I go to import it to my project, DVD SP says
    "No corresponding subtitles found.
    The video asset timecode may not correspond with the timecode specified for the subtitles in the import file or the file is invalid."
    This doesn't make sense to me. What can I do, or what am I doing wrong?

  • No SRT subtitles via DLNA on Samsung ue48js9000 with my book live 4TB

    Hi,I just bought the new Samsung ue48js9000 uhd and cannot play SRT subtitles via DLNA / Network (tried cable and Wifi) with WD my book live 4TB. Embebed subtitles in MKV play ok. SRT subtitles play ok if connected via USB drive to OCB. With other TV's at home SRT subtitles play fine via DLNA / Network (Samsung F7000 and D6500). FW Versions are (latest I can find by 30.JUL.2015):Samsung JS900: 1214WD My Cloud: v04.01.04-422DLNA Media Server (Twonky): 7.2.9_7.5.0-43  Tried to rebuid database and configurations on the twonky access port :9000 with different settings for the TV with no differente results (Generic Media Receiver, Samsung TV, ...) - note that it defaults do "Samsung Smart TV" which I beleive to be ok. Any help would be appreciated. Best regards,

If this is the case then you should contact Samsung to see if there is a firmware or app update for your TV. Otherwise about the only other suggestion I have at the moment, if the SRT files display properly on other devices that access the WD My Cloud, is to check the Twonky Server settings on the WD My Cloud to see how the Twonky server is treating your TV in the "Media Receiver Type" field under Sharing -> Media Receiver. If the value for "Media Receiver Type" is something other than "Samsung TV" or "Samsung Smart TV" then you may have to change the value and test to see if it fixes the issue. For more information on how to access the Twonky Server on the WD My Cloud see the following WD Support link: How to access the Twonky Media Server on a WD NAS

  • Disable SRT subtitles in Quicktime

    Hello,
    I have been looking for an answer for quite some time now, so I'll post my problem here and hope for someone to find a solution.
    When I play an AVI movie file with QuickTime Player, it automatically displays the SRT subtitles if located in the same folder. But when I try to disable those subs (via the menu bar), the menu supposed to display "1-Off, 2-English, 3-Spanish..." is gray and "Off" is selected. But the subs are played!
    Example:
    2 Files in Folder "My movies" -> "my_movie1.avi" and "my_movie1.srt"
    Note: removing/renaming the SRT file is NOT an option.

    If you look in the Perian control panel, you will see a tick box called 'load external subtitles'. This referrs to loading .srt files. With this option unticked (turned off) it will no longer always show subtitles.

  • Add .srt subtitles

    I'd like to add .srt subtitles to a .avi movie. Anyone know how to convert .srt to a Premiere Elements compatible format? .. or would Encore be a better way to go?

    Steve,
    Encore can work with true Sub-Titles (and also Closed Caption, which is similar, though different), and can use most common Sub-Title text formats.
    For specific Encore questions, including Sub-Titles, the Encore Forum is a great place.
    Good luck,

  • How to play .srt subtitle files in movies?

    On my iMac when I use VLC it automatically picks up the .srt file in the folder with the same name as the movie. Does AppleTV allow me to play an .srt file too? Thanks.

    No it won't do this.
    There is clearly a modicum of support for subtitles built in, but I think they have to be encoded in the actual movie file.
    Might be worth doing a search for subtitles in this forum.
    From memory very few Apple store items include subtitles.
    VLC is a non-Apple application, and AppleTV pretty much does things 'Apple's way'. In other words there are strict specs for video files (essentially low quality MPEG4, or better/good quality h264 files). These specs largely relate to the modern h264 codec which is more efficient than MPEG-2 used for DVDs,
    I don't think you have an AppleTV based on the question, and if you find VLC does the job thenn a more versatile option might be a Mac Mini if you already have lots of video with associated .srt files.
    Afraid I don't use subtitling myself, hopefully someone who does will be able to give some useful advice.
    May I suggest you Google an application called Handbrake which is a useful video file converter that can convert video files to AppleTV format. I believe it has some kind of support for embedding subtitles (though not from separate .srt files) but have never tried this personally.
    There are also many open source/3rd party apps that act as media centres such as XBMC for the XBOX (originally), plex and so forth - I don't know if they have decent subtitle or .srt support but it might be worth you having a look.
