OS X :: How To Convert Subtitle Files From SUB To SRT
Jan 11, 2009
I've got a movie that plays fine with the subtitles when I use VLC but when I burn it to a DVD to play in my DivX DVD player, it won't show the subtitles. Like, it recognizes there is a subtitle file there and I choose it, but they don't show up. I can't find any apps that let you convert from .sub to .srt (a more common format).
I'm new to mac and I have a problem when I want to open a downloaded subtitle file from for example allsubs.org. It's in zip format normally and then inside that zip file there has to be an srt file. But when I download the file it doesn't give me the zip file. It just gives me a file without extension titled 1. I have already installed Stuffit and other extractors like unrarX but nothing works.
I'm trying to rip my blu-ray library with MakeMKV and convert it with Handbrake (which is the best option I've come across for a mac user like myself) but when it comes to extracting .srt files from the resulting .mkv file I come to a brick wall. When I've thought I successfully extracted them using MKVTools (the only way I'm aware of on a mac) I can't find them anywhere on my computer, thus I can't utilize the "add external .srt" option in Handbrake.
Microsoft files (e.g. excel) when forwarded as attachments and received by MacBook Winmail, get converted to winmail.dat files. However, MS Office products cannot open these winmail.dat files. Does anyone have a solution for this "bug"?
How can I convert m4v files made from Handbrake on the Mac into files which will play on an Archos AV700?Need to be in any of these formats: MPEG-4 SP, MPEG-4, DivX, DivX 5.0, DivX 4.0, WMV
I am hoping to convert WMA files to MP3 formate on a mac. I tried out the program named switch but I was unable to make that work (I was only using the trial version anyway. I did see the thread that was started in Nov 06 but it seems to be a little too old for discussion sakes. I was also hopping for new information/evolution of programs and freeware. I will try what it says about switch but I doubt it will work.
If you have any other programs, I would love to hear about them. (just as a side note, the WMA files could be protected. I don't know if they are and I dont know how to know if they are or are not. I read on the switch application page that it supports the decoded version of WMA thus that might be the reason it doesn't work).
Anyone know of a program that will allow me to take an avi/divx file and convert it to dvd so i can backup some old videos? Freeware would be preferred but i'm open for anything.
I've got a series of .bmp images that I just rendered (about 390 frames or so). I know i can covert this whole mess into a movie but I can't figure out just how to go about it.
frame detail: 400x306 369kb each want it to run at about 20frames/sec
I have been fiddling around for while on this, I cannot seem to find a simple solution. A movie file, a matching subtitle, but no simple way to stick them together and transcode for playback on other device (likely PS3). This is frustration. Any Mac devs out there should see this as an opportunity to fix a problem.
I have some .srt subtitle files which aren't synchronized properly. I have found different editors, but I need one to edit all titles at one time. For example adjust all lines by -2 seconds or so.
Being a relatively new Mac user, I'm not sure what the best freeware would be for what I want to do, and I don't want to download twenty different programs before I find the right one. So, I'm looking for recommendations.
1) I want to find a program that lets me easily convert .wma files to .mp3's. 2) I also want to find a free, simple program that allows me to unzip .rar files. (This is another case with mp3's, except I have twenty songs zipped into one, and can only play them with VLC RAR-Loader.)
I might be asking for something that already been discussed on here but I can't find it. I need to find a program preferably free. I need to convert itunes m4v files to non-drm mp4 files.
