About Subtitle Support in Turbo.264 HD
Burned-in subtitles and Softsubs
Bitmapped subtitles, also known as subpictures (such as DVB subtitles) are always burned in (hardsubbed). Text subtitles are softsubbed; the display of subtitles in softsubbed files can be turned on or off on playback devices such as the iPad, iPhone and AppleTV.
Subtitles from External Files
Turbo.264 HD currently supports several subtitle formats from external files:
SubRip (.srt), SubStation Alpha (.ssa), Advanced SubStation Alpha (.ass), SubViewer (.sub), MicroDVD (.sub), MPSub (.sub), and SAMI (.smi).
To use an external subtitle track in Turbo.264 HD, the subtitle files should be in the same directory as the source and their names should include the name of the main source file minus the extension. In addition, you can add a two or three character ISO language code to the file name so that the correct language is identified by Turbo.264 HD. For example "Movie[es].srt" and "Movie.spa.srt" will both match a video file called "Movie.avi" and will be identified as Spanish. For more information on ISO language codes and which one to use for your language, please see
http://en.wikipedia.org
/wiki/List_of_ISO_639-1_codes
NOTE: Some devices may not play a file that doesn't have a language specified for the subtitle. A language code will be required in the subtitle track name for these devices to display subtitles properly. Please check with your device vendor for subtitle compatibility.
What if my subtitle doesn't work at all?
Because of the complexity of subtitles, not all formats are currently supported. If you have subtitles that are not working, please do not file a support incident. Instead, upload a sample file using the Turbo File Submitter application on Elgato's support web site. We cannot respond to individual enquiries, but will strive to add support for these sample files in future software updates.
