iSubtitle overview

iSubtitle lets you create soft-subtitled movies for iPod, iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, iTunes or any AVFoundation/QuickTime-based player or app. It's the first and only application to take full advantage of Apple's soft-subtitle technology. The subtitle tracks are resolution-independent and rendered in real-time as you watch the movie. Subtitles are always displayed at the best quality your device can perform. There are support for multiple languages in the same movie file and you can even switch language on the fly as you watch. If you already have a movie in a format that suits your needs there's no reason to re-encode it, just add the subtitles and use File->Save and you're good to go. If, on the other hand, your movie is not suited for your device you can batch re-encode it straight from within the application. You can also tag your file with metadata so it's easier to find in your growing library of TV shows and movies.

Main Features:
  • Add soft, non-destructive subtitles, that won't change or alter the original movie.
  • Subtitles can be turned on/off using the interface of the device or application.
  • Complete support for multiple languages in the same file.
  • Supported devices are iPod, iPhone, iPad and Apple TV.
  • Supported applications are iTunes, QuickTime Player or any app that can play a AVFoundation/QuickTime Movie.
  • Built-in subtitle online search with automatic download, unarchive and parsing.
  • Supports all major subtitle file formats like SubRip (.srt), SubViewer 1 and 2 (.sub), SubStation Alpha (.ssa/.ass), Spruce (.stl), Scenarist (.scc) and iTunes Timed Text (.itt).
  • Matroska subtitles, like ssa/ass and srt, are automatically converted to soft subtitle tracks on import.
  • Sync subtitles in real-time using the time offset stepper.
  • Automatic and manual metadata tagging.
  • Create chapter markers automatically or manually.
  • Batch re-encode movies within the application to support your target device or application.
  • Watch subtitled movies in fullscreen without leaving the application.
  • Works perfect with 10.9 Mavericks.
  • Please install Perian to support more input formats like MKV and AVI.
  • If you are having issues using iSubtitle, we want to help. Please contact us!

Although MacUpdate correctly says the current version is 3.1.1, its download gets version 3.1.

Until today a very happy user of Subtitle over the past few years in following editions. However, since this morning in both subtitle 2.8.2 and 2.7.5 all subtitles all of a sudden appear at the top of the screen instead of the hitherto normal and logical place at the bottom of the screen. I have checked all resources, settings, defaults, goals etc., but have not been able to find how this occurred neither how to rectify it. Please help!

Kudos for its applicability on all platforms of Apple products. Delivers quality subtitles [english & other foreign languages] and I deeply appreciate that, since I'm a movie-buff. It did crash twice but that is easy to forget when it delivers such high quality results!
