At times I really wonder at the ignorance of some of the people here.
I have been using version 1.02.02 and it DOES have the option of encoding the subtitles except not by default. You DO have to click on the + (plus sign) and check mark the option. Ir works flawlessly. I am pretty sure version 1.03.03 will be a further improvement.
In fact it is a fantastic solution for me. I will just give you an example of my needs and what it does.
First of all I am hearing impaired ( perforated drums in both my ears). So I need louder and normalized audio track. I can't tell the difference in sound quality between DTS and AC#. AC3 saves me a lot of disk space and my media player plays these files flawlessly.
Suprisingly it is not limited to DTS audio only. It can also be used on mkv files with AC3 tracks. Many of my mp4/mkv files use H264 AVC (mp4 part 10)codec which are not recognized by Avidemux - my preferred ripping tool. In this case what I do is first use MKV2DTS to either convert DTS with normalize and loud option or simply use normalize and loud option to get a new mkv file with original subtitles intact and in perfect synch. I repeat the latter process if the results are not at the level I want.
Once this is done I use Handbrake to make whatever changes I want in the video selecting AC3 passthru option as also the subtitle option.
The output I get is absolutely the exact thing I want. It does involve extra steps but then I am retired and have 2 PCs running simultaneously. While the ripping process is going on I work on something else !
