Hi there. I got myself an ipod 6G (the ipod classic) and I was messing around with converting my videos to watch in the ipod.

I noticed that this ipod model has a (soft) subtitle feature that one can enable or not. Question is: how do I do to add soft subtitles to a mp4 movie and make it display in the ipod classic?

I tried adding a srt file directly to the mp4 movie and although the subtitles display in media player classic they do not work in the ipod. To which format and what software can I use to convert the subtitles to an ipod compatible format?

I suppose I have to convert the srt subtitles to another format before muxing them in the mp4 video file, however I found zero information about the subtitle format used by the ipod classic. Bear in mind that I am not interested in hard subtitles, only in soft subtitles.

thanks in advance.

Steve are you there?! Can you hear us?! Please respond. :\

For anyone interested I also posted this at doom9 and after some advice from people there I tried to get this working to no avail.
