Well, Facebook always has a knack in irritating people off with their creativity. Luckily, this is one of those where it can be fixed.<br />

So when i had this problem (See title), i looked for solutions and combined opinions from different people. This is thus far the best combo i can make out, all utilising only free tools.<br />
<br />
<b>What tools do you need?</b><br />
Aegisub - <a href="http://www.aegisub.org/">http://www.aegisub.org/</a><br />
Mkvtoolnix - <a href="http://www.bunkus.org/videotools/mkvtoolnix/downloads.html">http://www.bunkus.org/videotools/mkvtoolnix/downloads.html</a><br />
Handbrake - <a href="http://handbrake.fr/downloads.php">http://handbrake.fr/downloads.php</a><br />
<br />
<b>What files do i have?</b><br />
Videos: <a href="http://www.videohelp.com/glossary?A#AVI">AVI</a>, <a href="http://www.videohelp.com/glossary?M#MP4">MP4</a> or <a href="http://www.videohelp.com/glossary?M#Matroska,%20MKA,%20MKV,%20MKS">MKV</a><br />
Subtitles: <a href="http://matroska.org/technical/specs/subtitles/srt.html">SRT</a> or <a href="http://matroska.org/technical/specs/subtitles/ssa.html">ASS</a><br />
<br />
<b>What should i do?</b><br />
<u>Subtitles</u><br />
When we create streaming mp4, the subtitles should be hard-subbed. Meaning the subtitles are embedded into the video image, not as a separate external container. If this is not done, it cannot be guaranteed that the subtitles will show at the player. I tried this on Macs and IPads, true enough, the subtitles didn't appear.<br />
<br />
That being said, we will need to get the subtitles into the ASS format if you don't already have.<br />
Just open Aegisub and load your srt file. Then save as ass. Simple as that.<br />
<br />
<u>Video</u><br />
In general, your source video can be in the form of the any above (avi, mp4, mkv).<br />
What we are going to do next is to create a new mkv with the video and the ass subtitle as its content. This is where mkvtoolnix comes in.<br />
<br />
At the input tab (Input files), simply add the video file and subtitle file (Must be ass format else the last step later won't work). Click the 'Start muxing' and a mkv file would be created. This mkv file contains the video and the subtitle information.<br />
<br />
<u>Converting to mp4</u><br />
This is the last step. We will convert the mkv file into a http streamable mp4.<br />
Open handbrake and then add the mkv file we just created as the source.<br />
Select output setting to be mp4, check on 'Web Optimized'. This option will add Fast Start to the mp4 and thus the http stream can start almost immediately.<br />
Select subtitles tab, make sure the track for the ass subtitle is selected.<br />
Make sure the 'Burned in' option is chosen...most impt step here.<br />
Start the encoding and when its done, you are all set.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2681526813498316489.post-87703533791898319202014-03-22T19:45:00.002+08:002014-03-22T19:45:39.488+08:00Move home folder to another location (Mac OSX) Works for Maverick too.Putting your user home folder in a separate partition away from your system partition always makes it easier for you when you are going to perform any overhauls.<br />
<br />
The following are really good guides on how to do this.<br />

Scripts generally involve muting the whole thing altogether which is not desired as the Chime is actually there for a good reason. So i found the following which fits into my scenario nicely.<br />
