FFMPEG > embed .srt in .mp4 (for Quicktime only)
Raw
gistfile1.txt
//ISSUE: Quicktime sometimes doesn't play .srt files even if they are named the exact same thing in the same folder.
//SOLUTION: Use ffmpeg to add metadata to the .mp4 container and embed the .srt file.
This process is lossless as we use a passthrough encoder.
//note. this process is similar to the .m4v container and embedding .srt files.
