Adding subtitle hardsub without touching the quality !!

[yaston]

Hello everyone,

I need to add subtitle to the movies i've downloaded in hardsub, but without touching the quality..., any way? And how?

Hardsubbing a video requires you to re-encode, so there's no way you can do it without incurring a quality hit.

Yeah, i know it requires re-encode, but i want to keep the same quality... should i do the same sittings or what?!!

You will still lose quality. But use same settings and constant quality encoding(it's default in vidcoder) in for example vidcoder.

Of course not. How many times do you have to be told the same thing? Counting me it's now four times. Shall we go for five?

But you'll lose as little as possible. And you may not even notice the lower quality.

Did you read what Baldrick said? Constant Quality? Maybe try 18 or so. Keep everything else at default and don't mess around with what you don't understand.
