Burning Movies Onto DVD, On A Mac, With Subtitles

On another page in the wiki I demonstrated how one can use DVDStyler to burn video file containing a movie onto a DVD. On this page I am going to demonstrate how to include subtitles on the movie DVD.

The DVDStyler application that was installed as part of the original process. To add subtitles, we'll need an additional piece of software called "ffmpeg." This command-line utility runs in the OSX Terminal application. It is used to pre-process the subtitles before they can be brought into DVDStyler and burnt onto the DVD.

ffmpeg is installed from the OSX Terminal application by entering the following two commands:

ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)" brew install ffmpeg

The following video will demonstrate how this is done and then it will walk you through how to add subtitles to a DVD.
