Why don’t podcasts use VBR MP3s? Because iOS and macOS don’t accurately seek them

I’m making some progress on my media encoding problem. If I replace Melton’s scripts with Handbrake, I’m able to keep the subtitles.

Do you know of a good way to rip Blu-rays with subtitles intact?

posted this note on and tagged it with Blu-rays Dealing with home media

I’m trying to rip the video (and audio) from Blu-rays1 into an iTunes and AppleTV friendly format, while preserving subtitles and, this is key, not burning them in. I’ll write a detailed post on my needs, findings and workflow soon but right now I just want to throw the ball out to you.

I’m currently using a mixture of MakeMKV, Don Melton’s video transcode scripts, Subler and iDentify 2. The workflow I’m currently using requires me to add external .srt-files for subtitles, since I don’t want to burn them into the video.

Do you, dear reader, have any experience with this? Any suggestions for me? Please get in touch! (E-mail: henrik [@] henrikcarlsson [dot] se, @synvila on twitter or just send a webmention to this post.)


  1. Off course I’m only talking about Blu-ray discs that I’ve gotten written consent from all the rights-holders to do this.

”Borta bra men hemma bäst”.

När jag var barn tyckte jag att det inte alls var sant. Som ungdom och ung vuxen lät det som en klyscha. Nu, som vuxen och förälder tycker jag att det är väldigt sant och en perfekt beskrivning av hur skönt det är att ha semester, och hur skönt det är att komma hem efteråt.

Idag tog min lillebror med mig till sitt jobb och lät mig provskjuta AK5 och Glock 17. Det var riktigt kul, särskilt pistolskyttet!
