i have a few avi files that i'd like to convert to mp4 to watch on my ipod, but when i convert them on the converter i use (videora ipod converter) the subtitles tracks go away, is there any way to convert files with subtitle tracks to mp4 while keeping the subtitle tracks.

(why cant apple allow more video formats )
[are there any mp3/video players that support avi?]

thanks

Most of the animes I download is MKV, for the dual japanese/english audio as well as english subtitles to toggle on or off. Never seen MKV until I started watching those and it's definitely not a video standard at the moment. Hell I can't even work with the MKV files in Sony Vegas.

There are no portable players that come to mind that would support MKV... Zune only supports MP4/WMV.

Never used SUPER myself but have hear good things about it, it converts many different types of filetypes and etc. If anything you could give it a test run and see if it'll keep the subs. (link: http://www.erightsoft.com/SUPER.html)

edit: swear you typed MKV.. I'm not seeing how you're having a problem with subs in AVI, aren't they an actual part of the video? Regardless you you could give SUPER a try.

thanks i'll give it a try and no, this .avi has subtitle tracks, though i think they're in a separate file that loads when you run the avi, so i'm doubtfull, but it may be able to do some xvid files

thanks
