Tech support for Handbrake Video Convertor:

[MaCaulay]

I recently downloaded an anime which came with english subtitles. As I wished to put the episodes into my iTunes library I had to convert them to mp4 format so I import the episodes into Handbrake, my video convertor of choice, and left them to run. Later when I looked at the now fully converted episodes I found that the subtitles had somehow been deleted, see the link for a picture which should give you the idea...

I have come to the advice forums hoping that someone knows what has happened and may have a solution to the problem. Thanks in advance.

Not familiar with Handbrake myself, though worst case scenario is you download .SRT files elsewhere and add them during conversion if it isn't picking up the ones inside the source files. Might be possible to extract them with something else if need be.
