  1. So I read here that using Vicoder I can hardcode subs to MP4, so that's what I did.

    It did hardcode them, but the .srt is in Spanish, and some of the letters come missing randomly. Is there a way to fix this, or a better tool just as simple?

    Did you make sure the srt file was saved with a UTF8 BOM?

  3. If you don't have to have an MP4 extension then create an MKV file by using MKVmerge. I always convert my AVIs & MP4s to MKVs if I want subtitles included. I realize that may not work for you. Just a thought.

    .srt is not a format that can be hardcoded. Change it to .ass(Advanced SubStation) using Aegisub.
    Anything's possible in that subtitle format. And that can genuinely be hardcoded using your own creativity.

    I know it. The program MP4Box make a lot of mistakes so you better immediately save the subtitles in XML (TTXT-UTF8). Just the same text! The rest is unacceptable: color, font, fontsize.
    Metadata (EXIF) containers don't use.
    PS It surprised me is the lack of funds to repair some of the functions over the years, when an update to the mp4 container every three days.

  6. As ndjamena already given the (proper) solution just two notes

    1. Vidcoder has a drop-down menu for Char Code where you could select the one used in your .srt.

    2. Using ASS/SSA subtitles HandBrake/Vidcoder can only hardcode those formats when they are muxed into your source file.

    Or if you familiar with FFMpeg you can hard code SRT/ASS/SSA:

    BTW... FFMpeg doesn't like Capitals in SRT attributes.
    As you can see in the picture above, This doesn't work:
    Code:
    1
    00:00:01,459 --> 00:00:05,149
    <B>Bold</B> And not bold
    <font color=#00FFFF> Green BLue??</font>
    This does:
    Code:
    1
    00:00:01,459 --> 00:00:05,149
    <b>Bold</b> And not bold
    <font color=#00FFFF> Green BLue??</font>
