Dear Forum Members:
After an exhaustive 3 days of Googling totaling more than 20 hours of reading and searching I have decided to seek "professional" help with ripping blu-ray discs. Perhaps someone here my be of some assistance...
I am trying to convert my library of Blu-Ray discs into iTunes / iPhone / AppleTV / iPad friendly versions and am getting stuck on movies that have forced subtitles (Dances with Wolves). It would seem that I am unable to get the forced subtitles to transfer from the .mkv file during the conversion to .m4v and I can't find any information that is less than 3 years old on the subject.
Here's my setup:
iMac (mid 2011)
LG External Blu-Ray drive (BP06LU10)
MakeMKV for ripping
iVI for transferring mkv to HD-SD m4v
Up to this point I have had great success with iVI to convert my mkv files as the software will create both HD and SD versions of the movie for iTunes at the same time and I get the best quality for all of my devices. Interestingly enough all three conversion programs that I currently have (iVI, iFlicks, and HandBrake) all show the movie as having subtitles but none of them burn the subtitles to the m4v.
Does anyone know of a neat solution to this issue? Any assistance with this will be greatly appreciated.
