How to add subtitles into a video file

Posted by matt on Mon, 11/02/2008 - 9:20pm in

If you've got a video file that has an accompanying subtitle file which is separate, that's usually preferable to "hardcoded" subs (which are in the actual video itself).

Once a video has the subtitles permanently added to it, they cannot be removed, or customized to suit the conditions (eg making the font larger/smaller, or changing the sub language).

However sometimes it can be a great help to be able to easily add the subtitles into the video itself, and heres one pretty good method using all free software.
