I have an avi and corresponding .srt file for subtitles. I hate having two files for this movie, so what I want to do is convert this file to mkv as I heard it can hold subtitles. I have handbrake to convert the file, but will that allow me to include the subtitles? If not, how would I go about putting the subtitles into the mkv?
you're looking for 'hard coding' the subtitle into the video file :) – None – 2009-11-03T01:24:50.293
6no, he's looking to embed the subtitles in the MKV as a subtitle stream (similar to a DVD's subtitles). this is 'soft' because a player can choose to display the subtitle stream or not. 'hard coding' is rendering the subtitles into the video stream, ie permanently changing the video stream, where they can't be turned off by the player. AVI doesn't support subtitle streams, so hard coding is the only way to do that with AVI. – quack quixote – 2009-11-03T01:34:22.793
