Submerge overview

Submerge is the easiest way to add hardcoded subtitles to your movies and TV shows. The subtitled movie will play on almost anything, like your computer, smartphone, portable device, or game console. Submerge supports many text-based subtitle formats as input, and you can export the subtitled movie for the most common devices in just one click. Submerge also has a built-in subtitle search-and-download tool that makes finding the right subtitles really easy. It also has a fullscreen player built-in, so you can watch the subtitled movie directly within Submerge.

Features
  • Create subtitled movies that are playable on your computer, smartphone, portable device or game console.
  • Add subtitles to almost any visual format like MOV, AVI, MKV, MP4, etc.
  • Supports the major subtitle file formats like SubRip (.srt), SubViewer 1 and 2 (.sub), SubStation Alpha (.ssa/.ass) and MicroDVD.
  • Find subtitle files easily using the built-in subtitle search tool.
  • Exporter presets for iPhone, iPod, iPad, Apple TV, Cellphone, PSP, PS3, Wii and Xbox 360.
  • Force aspect ratio to 16:9, 4:3 or 3:2 to use your monitor space more efficiently.
  • Watch subtitled movies in fullscreen without leaving the application.
  • Merge multiple movies together using simple copy and paste.
  • Localized in English, Italian, French, Finnish, Spanish, Greek, Portuguese/Brazilian, Dutch, German, Slovak, Russian, Polish, Traditional Chinese, and Swedish.

Note: Submerge cannot add hardcoded subtitles to movies or TV shows purchased or rented in the iTunes store due to DRM protection.

What’s new in version 3.9.1

  • Fixed a bug where subtitles could get out of sync on export.
  • Now tries to fallback on FFmpeg if AVFoundation export fails.

Why would I want to use this, when free Subler makes full iOS compatible text subtitles from VOBSUB or let you burn in the subtitles should you want that? I don't see why burn-in should be preferable.

It works. Definitely watch the (brief) screencast on the app's homepage for orientation. Developer is friendly and engaging.

I really liked Submerge initially and used it quite a few times. However I am finding I brings my Imac to a grinding hold by taking more than 10 GB of memory (says Activity Monitor) and Sometimes just says "Waiting......." and does nothing else but Claiming memory... Seems like some serious issues in an app that I payed good money for... :( Nothappy!

I have the 2.2.3 Submerge version and it`s been pretty helpful to hardsub videos for my translations. It takes a long time though to export the video. The new version Submerge 3.0 came recently and I`ve been wondering why do I have to purchase the program again if I already purchased the previous version? It doesn`t make sense..

Suggestions: All this app needs is a basic editor and some sync / timing features and I could delete all the other apps I have for working with subs.
