mp4 container DOES support "soft" subs.


mkv is the most hyped container out there. It is mostly used as a container for avc + several sound tracks + subs, but all of that is already covered by a standard mp4 container. mkv does have some wicked sick "features", like having different parts of video in different format (?) but tell me how many on this planet do need this feature? And guess what, it doesn't come for free, but complicates code needed to support this format.

Unless there are license issues, I don't see ANY reason to prefer MKV over MP4 container for average Joe. :crazy:

WAIT a second! AVCHD supports soft subs?

Now MKV2VOB works fine for me, but when converting anime it would take long with subs, PLUS most of the time the audio and/or subs would be out of sync. Not forgetting that the subs would lose their formatting.

If I go ahead and choose the AVCHD container in MKV2VOB instead of the default MPEG2, would I be able to just rip the subs and play them that way?

Aside from recorded audio and video, AVCHD includes features to improve media presentation: menu navigation, slide shows and subtitles.

But I was talking about mp4 (mpeg-4 part 14) container.
