An interested party who would prefer to remain anon. is odd about rip DVDs . The unnamed One writes :

I am a college film teacher and occassionally I find it necessary to show sequence of subtitled foreign films to my class ( yes , this is legal ) . However , I can not get subtitles to come along on my iPad . I have tried select each of the different caption option including “ strained ” inHandBrakebut the titles never appear . Is there a setting that I ’m drop ?

You’resoclose . This is potential , but you ’ve chosen the wrong option . Here ’s the secret .

In HandBrake , take the chapter you want to rip from the Chapters pop - up menus — Chapters 2 through 2 to rip the 2d chapter , for example . get across on the Audio tab and from the first Track pop - up menu , choose the words you want to use if there ’s more than one — for case , Chinese if that ’s the spoken communication originally used . Then fall into place the Subtitles tab , take the English linguistic process track from the Track down - up menu , and start the burn In option . Select the iPad preset and press the Start button to rip the chapter to a file compatible with the iPad .

In the result file you ’ll find the subtitles you want . Note , that they ’re burned into the movie clip and so you ca n’t switch them off . They ’re stuck like gum .

For those not rend alien film but rather domestic fare , you may have another option that looks well on the iPad . For those moving picture that digest unsympathetic - captioning , move to HandBrake ’s Subtitles tab and choose Closed Captions from the Track pop - up card and start the Default option . Rip your movie and transmit it to the iPad .

On the iPad , exposed options and select Video . Ensure that the closed in Captioning alternative is switched on . Launch the Videos app on the iPad , start the flick playacting , pink on the Closed Caption icon in the drama mastery domain , and pick out English from the bill of fare that appear . On the iPad you ’ll see crisp captions in the contraband bar below the movie rather than the somewhat pixelated subtitle that overlay a movie when you choose the combust In option .
