Subtitle Support

Starting with version 1.4 iFlicks comes with basic support for soft subtitles, which will countiniously be extended and improved.

Currently support for external subtitles comes in two flavours:

  • SubStation Alpha Subtitles included in video files (like mkv)

    In this case you are very lucky and don't have to do anything. All subtitles of this type will automatically take from the source video and added to the newly created m4v file.

  • External SubRip (srt) Subtitles

    If you have an external subtitles file for your movie, the process of adding these to the video is also automatic in most cases. You only have to ensure that both files have the same prefix like:

    Show.S##E##.avi

    Show.S##E##.srt

    Show.S##E##.de.srt

    Show.S##E##.eng.srt

    iFlicks also tries to extract a language from the filename (2 or 3 letter language code). If it is able to do so, it will set this language as the language of the subtitle track.
