bruinator Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 hi, Looking for a simple way to add sorts to a movie if its software or whatever, as long as it is easy to do. thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 For MKV output: MKVToolnix (MKVMerge) is very easy to use & very efficient. Can insert any type of subs. You can add as many subs files as you want. Just make sure to rename them accordingly to the given languages. This will be helpful at play time. A good repository of related programs is videohelp.com. This search can help too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bruinator Posted February 9, 2016 Author Share Posted February 9, 2016 can this be used so i can save it after adding subs (srts) to a movie and then save it on a flash drive and watch it on my tv? thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Depends on your tv specs. if it can read MKV files with embeded subs, it's ok if subs don't show on your tv then it must be hardcoded. See the links i provided in my 1st post. There are some programs which can do it. Just remember: - Using MKVMerge to insert subs >>> lossless. (no re-compression) - Using other programs to hardcode subs >>> may be lossy. (re-compression = quality loss) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruinator Posted February 9, 2016 Author Share Posted February 9, 2016 Do the movies have to be mkv files or can the be others as well but this software converts it to mkv files? thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 MKVMerge doesn't convert anything! MKV & MP4 files are just containers The program only muxes all the elemetary streams into one file without recompression Ex: MPEG + AC3 + SRT = MKV MKVMerge produce only MKV files. There are other programs whitch can output MP4 files. See the documentation to have an idea of the supported files (input) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
