I have the same issue as in [this question][1], but now, there is no Perian to help me out. I have an m4v film that I can play in QT7 and see the subtitles, but not in QTX.
I've tried Subler, Handbrake and Submerge. I've tried QT7 export, and VLC.
I really want to get the film into iTunes. Does anyone know some methods?
UPDATE – thanks to Kerlix. I had to save the art in UTF-8.
This was the sequence that worked for me:
Handbrake from avi to m4v
Subler:
- . remove any existing subtitles
Save and verify
Convert my subtitles to UTF-8 Subler
. new file
. drag in movie
. import my subtitles.
. at first import screen, change Passthrough to Tx3g
. OK
. change default language to your subtitle language
. save
Test in QTX

you might try Subs Factory or re-saving the SRT in Text Wrangler as UTF-8. Or re-encoding the file with the SRT as soft subs in Handbrake. I've also used MPEGStreamclip and Avidemux for other file formats. Good luck!
