But I think you are right about me not encoding with the correct H.264 profile, thanks for the tip... .testing it now.
I didnt realize that there are more then one H.264 baseline profile. Thanks again for your help, i'll get back to you on the results. and also my testings

Try renaming the files to .mp4. M4V should still be the same container type, just a different extension. There's only one Baseline profile, though different devices/applications are more sensitive to changes in the baseline. Sometimes, if you change a single option, it can wind up changing the profile enough so a device won't play it, even if it technically could. I can't say for sure on Android or its various players since I usually stick pretty rigidly to the Baseline.

Are you working with a DVD ISO file or file structure? Are you trying to hard-encode the subtitles into the end result or softsub? Handbrake can only hardsub bitmapped subtitles like those on DVDs, so you'll need something akin to a full-on ripped DVD with subtitles intact. Handbrake can softsub (ie. Mux) SRT subtitles into an MP4 container, though it can't hardsub. That means you'll have to use a third party player for Android that supports softsubs, or use a different encoder that has hardsubbing for ASS/SRT subtitles like Format Factory (beware, I think this installs browser toolbars).
As for the black bars, you'll need to crop the picture using the cropping section in Handbrake, and then use either the video size to manually adjust to fit your device (and stretch/distort the image) or use the zooming/cropping feature in whatever media player you're using to automatically zoom/crop out the black bars. Black bars are the result of a video not identically matching the aspect ratio of your device, so the only way to get rid of them is to change the aspect ratio of the movie by distortion/cropping.
