Hi all, just downloaded Handbrake and need some help. I have some MKV movie files that have subtitles written in them. They are not stand alone SRT files or anything. The movie and subs are all in one package. Now I don't want to alter anything in the movie at all .. not frame rate, sound, or quality ... all i want to do is learn to put in English subtitles (hard code i think it's called). Say, for instance, I have Apocalypto .. I can see in Handbrake that it has subtitles in many languages. I select "English" and "hardcode" .. I started the process (4 hours!!) and at the end .. it was no different .. no subs ??? What am I doing wrong ??
I guess what I really need are the settings to "NOT" adjust anything else and put in the hardcoded subs .. any help would be fantastic

Re: subtitles
no problem .. I just have to wait for it to finish .. I'm trying a different setting (no .. I don't know what I'm doing)
Re: subtitles
HandBrake is not the tool your looking for. You need a muxing tool if all you want to do is adjust subtitles.
Re: subtitles
the subs are already written in the file .. so what do I use then?
Re: subtitles
Until we see the logs, we don't know what you selected.
"Hard code" means "burn in" in handbrake's vocabulary. And that requires re-encoding the file to do, since you're asking to have the subtitles drawn on the video itself.
Whether or not you've selected the correct subtitle track is probably the big issue, and the logs will help us understand that.
