EDIT: This build might not work well on OS X 10.5 Leopard. If that's your case try running the following command in terminal after you install the server to /Applications:
sudo lipo /Applications/Air\ Video\ Server.app/Contents/Resources/ffmpeg -remove x86_64 -o /Applications/Air\ Video\ Server.app/Contents/Resources/ffmpeg

I'm pleased to announce that new Air Video Server beta version is available.

You can download it for Mac OS X Leopard and Microsoft Windows.

Improvements in this release:
* Subtitle Support! SRT, SSA, SUB (MicroDVD), SMI (Experimental) formats are supported. Text subtitle track in MKV files are also supported.
* 64bit transcoding on 64bit Macs
* Windows Installer should configure proper rules for all firewall profiles
* More UPnP workarounds for broken routers
* Greatly improved unicode support on Windows

Changes since beta 6:
* A/V sync fixes
* Experimental support for SMI subtitles
* Added option to adjust subtitle font size
* Stability improvements

Changes since beta 5:
* Option to disable embedded subtitles
* Compatibility with OS X 10.5 Leopard
* Fixed startup problems on OS X
* Important unicode fixes on Windows - Air Video can now be installed in folder that contains unicode characters, also conversion should work in unicode folders

Changes since beta 4:
* Overlapped subtitles should be supported properly.

Changes since beta 3:
* Fixed problem when Air Video Server froze on startup / shutdown.

Changes since beta 2:
* Fixed version number in Windows installer
* Fixed subtitle loading bugs
* Stability improvements

Please keep in mind that subtitle support is new. Feedback is very welcome. Also this build DOES NOT SUPPORT PowerPC Macs.
This is a beta version so treat it as such. Things might not work quite as expected

Update: If the accented characters don't show right you need to adjust subtitle encoding in Air Video Server properties.

it doesn't work in my macmini (early 2009 model with leopard).

this program's work is great. but ffmpeg is down when i turn on the airvideo client app in my iphone.

so i can't using.... so i downgrade...

i want to test about the smi subtitle..

Hi,

I'm sorry about that. Will post a fixed build soon. For now try to install beta7 to /Applications and then run the following command in terminal (copy and paste it)

sudo lipo /Applications/Air\ Video\ Server.app/Contents/Resources/ffmpeg -remove x86_64 -o /Applications/Air\ Video\ Server.app/Contents/Resources/ffmpeg

way to go! very nice. Finally support changing the size of subtitle font. I've tested and it works and it's absolutely beautiful. air video is the most useful tool I've ever bought and it's definitely under priced.

one little problem pls allow me to pointing out is that changing the font size doesn't immediately take effect, you have to shutdown the windows service and start it all over again to make the change work. is it some system limitation? or if we can have it without a service restart? I've tried
1. change the font size, restart the iphone client, doens't work
2. change the font size, restart the windows service, works

Beta 8 released, locking this topic.
