I can’t see any subtitles on my Apple TV?
The Apple TV is kind of picky when it comes to subtitle languages.
To solve the problem, press and hold the play button on the apple remote. A menu will appear where you can select any subtitle track manually.
Can I add subtitles to a movie bought or rented on the iTunes Store or from my Apple TV?
Yes, you actually can. Apple adds a DRM protection to all the movies you purchase from the iTunes store. You will only see a gray box when opening the movie in iSubtitle, but you can still add subtitles and save the movie using File->Save. It will play as usual in iTunes, QuickTime Player, Apple TV and so on, but the subtitles will be there. If you dislike the DRM protection as much as I do I suggest you send an email to Apple with your complains.
How do I work with AVI and DivX movies?
Download and install Perian.
I can see video but I can't hear any sound?
The movie may have AC3 audio. Download and install Perian.
How do I work with Windows Media (WMV) movies?
Download and install the Windows Media QuickTime component Flip4Mac.
How can I change or remove the semi-transparent background from the subtitles?
No, there's no way to customize the subtitles cause it's all up to the applicaton/device how to show them.
The same subtitles looks completely different on an Apple TV and an iPhone for example.
Encoding is so sloooow. How do I make it faster?
Get yourself an Elgato Turbo.264 hardware encoder and save lots and lots of time. It's fully integrated in iSubtitle.
Encoding with the Turbo.264 is slower than I expected. Why?
Make sure you connect the Turbo.264 to an USB-2 port. It doesn’t work with an old USB-1 port or hub.
iSubtitle doesn’t seem to recognize my original Turbo.264 dongle anymore. How can I fix this?
Download and install the latest Turbo.264 application for your turbo. Start the Turbo.264 app to install the components. Just to be sure, Run Disk Utility and Repair Permissions. Reboot! It should be working as expected now...
When I try to re-encode a movie I get the error, “The movie contains an incorrect time value”. Why?
The movie may be corrupted! It's actually quite easy to verify that the movie is not corrupted in any way. Open the movie in QuickTime Player and just Save as. If you can re-save the movie, it's ok. If not, it's corrupted, at least in the QuickTime universe.
