burning srt into mp4

I am using 0.9.9.5530 32bit version.
I have an mp4 video & synchronised srt file . I want to combine them to make a video which has subtitles burned into frame (nobody can turn it off).
I read
https://trac.handbrake.fr/wiki/Subtitles which tells me to make vobsub or ssa to avoid passthrough .
I used Setup_SubtitleCreator_v2_3rc1.exe to make sub,idx file from srt.
I find that on pressing 'add' button in subtitles section I get source as 'foreign audio scan' which is not editable .
What should I do to add those vobsub in video ?
BTW , my output container is mp4 & I get m4v file as destination.

Mux your source file and vobsubs into an intermediate MKV file with mkvmerge or MKVToolNix, then feed that file into HandBrake.

Handbrake uses the m4v extension when you use features that are not quite supported by the MP4 container. You can just change it to .mp4 yourself, and you can also set a preference to make it use mp4.

Do you mean there is no way to give input subtitle as ssa file or sub,idx file pair ?

I muxed video(mp4) & subtitle file(srt) and got output mkv.
On selecting it as source , I get 2 sources in subtitles where 'burn in' attribute of 'foreign audio scan' can be ticked. Also '1 unknown (UTF8)' source can be marked as default. Tried both combinations but the resultant file analysis is
Code: Select all
C:\Users\cdot>"d:\SUMEET\for all\media\ffmpeg\bin\ffmpeg.exe" -i "d:\trying to b
urn\unknown-default.mp4"

I do not want a subtitle stream in output file but want subtitle text to be burned in video frame permanently . What should I do ?

Post the encode log not the file analysis.

Won't change the fact that HandBrake can't burn-in SRT subtitles.

Mux the SSA file into the MKV, not the SRT, then process with Handbrake.

While adding ssa to mp4 video in mkvmerge , I get
Command line used:
"c:\Program Files (x86)\MKVToolNix\mkvmerge.exe" --output-charset UTF-8 --identify-for-mmg "D:\trying to burn\do.ssa"
Output:
Error: File D:\trying to burn\do.ssa has unknown type. Please have a look at the supported file types ('mkvmerge --list-types') and contact the author Moritz Bunkus <
moritz@bunkus.org> if your file type is supported but not recognized properly.

finally i was able to burn subtitles into video using ffmpeg-20131010-git-996c734-win32-static obtaind from
http://ffmpeg.zeranoe.com/builds/
The command that worked was
d:\ffmpeg-20131010-git-996c734-win32-static\bin\ffmpeg.exe -i d:\trying_to_burn\video\ETRG.mp4 -acodec libmp3lame -vcodec libx264 -vf "subtitles=etrg.srt" d:\trying_to_burn\video\go-ffmpeg.mp4
