For my old media player I used the SRT format for compatibility but after switching to Apple TV and MP4, I found that I couldn't force or burn in the SRT files using HandBrake. This will work for any MKV file that has an SRT subtitle track which you would like to burn in for playback on Apple TV devices, for example Forced Subtitles / Foreign Language parts. The solution to this took some investigation but eventually I managed to find a straight forward way of doing this and wanted to share it with you.
Process for Using HandBrake to Burn in Subtitles from MKV to MP4 for Apple TV
In short the process is as follows: The pastels sittin pretty zip.
1 – Extract and Convert the SRT from the MKV
2 – Remux the MKV with the SSA instead of the SRT
3 – Run the MKV through HandBrake and Burn In the SSA
You will need the following free tools:
Subtitle Edit
MKVMerge
HandBrake
Sounds simple right? Well it is.
1 – Extract and Convert the SRT from the MKV
The first step is to extract and convert the current subtitle from the MKV file and to do this we use Subtitle Edit.
Go to File > Open and search for your .mkv file
Once you open the file, it will load the subtitle track into the editor.
The next step is to save as an SSA file. Go to File > Save As and Choose ‘Sub Station Alpha (*.ssa)' from the list.
1 – Extract and Convert the SRT from the MKV
The first step is to extract and convert the current subtitle from the MKV file and to do this we use Subtitle Edit.
Go to File > Open and search for your .mkv file
Once you open the file, it will load the subtitle track into the editor.
The next step is to save as an SSA file. Go to File > Save As and Choose ‘Sub Station Alpha (*.ssa)' from the list.
This creates a .ssa subtitle file that now can be used by HandBrake to burn in, however – we still need to get it back into the .mkv file so HandBrake can see it.
2 – Remux the MKV with the SSA instead of the SRT
The second step is to now remux the .mkv using MKVMerge.
Open MKVMerge and click on the Add button
Navigate to the folder where both your original .mkv file and newly exported .ssa subtitle file is and open the .mkv
Once the .mkv file has opened, you will see the individual video, subtitle and audio streams. Untick the .srt subtitle file that is currently contained in your .mkv
Then click add again, this time selecting the .ssa file. It should then appear in the input files list and the tracks, chapters and tags list.
Check the output filename and click Start muxing
The .mkv file will then be re muxed with the new .ssa file. The time taken for this can vary, but is only generally a minute or so. The final step is now to burn in the subtitles using HandBrake.
3 – Run the MKV through HandBrake and Burn In the SSA
In a similar way to how you'd proceed after following the steps in our Ripping Bluray Movies into iTunes for Apple TV guide, Open HandBrake and choose Source > Open File Kms auto lite portable v1.2.1 download.
Select your new .mkv file and choose your preferred Apple filter from the right panel (Even though I own Apple TV 3's I always use the Apple TV 2 filter as I think the quality of 720p versus the disk space cost is the best balance).
Go to the subtitle tab and click Add.
The .ssa file should now appear. Simply click the Burn In check box which should now be available and run HandBrake as normal to create your video file.
Conclusion
Your subtitles will now be actually burned into the .mp4 file and will play back perfectly on the Apple TV.
