Attaching Subtitle!!

All my downloaded movies comes with 2 files an .avi/.mp4/ and a .srt (subtitle). Now my question is how do I attach that subtitle inside my movie so that there wouldn't be one extra .srt file, just the movie itself with built-in subtitle

Thanks!!

 

I use VLC.. File -> Open ->Subtitle options stuff..

If you want to burn it to a DVD, I use ConvertXtoDVD to do that, and it should have the options to add it in when converting the DVD.

 

I know that but what I want is to have one single file and that is my movie..I don't wanna start the vlc media player and then load the subtitle every time I wanna see it.

 

To permanantly (hardcode) attach subtitles to a video, you'll need to re-encode the video.

You could use a program like AutoGK to re-encode the video. You'll lose some video quality however as it essentially re-encode the video all over again. You'll need to register the program to get the subtitle option.

The other solution is using VirtualDub. There are good guides at Afterdawn.com.

Either way, you are going to lose a little video quality as you'll need to re-encode the video.

Hmmm...Ok Trying it with Xilisoft!! But isn't there any other way to do it? I mean without re-encoding it??

 

No. You either overlay the caption, or it becomes part of the video, those are your only options.

 

It doesn't actually add the subtitles to the video like as a separate file. It physically adds those white pixels to the frames. So there really is no other way other than re-encoding it. Or just add them to a playlist and double clicking the playlist instead of the video itself.

If you are burning to a DVD, Nero will add the subtitles for you. But that is essentially re-encoding also.

 

Sooo sad lol....Thnx guys

 

Yeah, it stinks. Especially for foreign film lovers.

 

Are you wanting to play them on a standard DVD player? Or just on your computer? Because if you just want to play them on the computer you should be able to re-mux the two files into a single mkv container without having to actually transcode anything and it'll have the subtitles in the single container. Most of my subtitled movies are like that... the subtitles are drawn by the media player and not burned into the video.

 

What difference does it make if I play it whether on pc or dvd player? Can't I just burn the whole mkv container into a dvd or something?? If not then just show me the way of how do re-mux the two files into a mkv container without re-encoding so that It stays as a single file.

Thnx!!

 

With MKVToolNix you can add video, audio and subtitles "without" reencoding and thereby lose picture quality.
It supports both .AVI .MKV and .MP4 containers, but will save it in a .MKV container.
Download it now and be amazed! xD

THe resulting product will be playable on all the good media players available, like XBMC or VLC.

 

Seriously man? It's not that hard to click file>open>subtitle file! Takes about 3 clicks...

 

This is interesting.

Isn't the whole point of having a computer is to further automate the details of life. Three clicks is three clicks too many. Sure I could click my way through to backup my files. Even better if it required zero clicks and just automated it everyday.

 

It really is very interesting indeed....OMG I'm really surprised by it's result!! It actually worked WOW!! Thnx mate

Umm...well it wouldn't even take a single click to load subtitles if I rename the .srt file same as the movie file but it isn't about clicking man, Its just I don't like to have two files for a movie that's all!! I like Hard Subs and Now I can do it without losing quality
