Hi there,
I'm have a little trouble finding out how to add hard subs to a MKV file. I'll explain my problem:
I have a MKV file with a selectable subtitle in it. It's all synced and perfectly fine when I play it on my computer. However if I stream it to my television I can't select the sub so I need to sub to be hard coded in the MKV so that it's always visible no matter what.
What is a good way to do this?
Thanks in advance.

Tried Quick AVI Creator. Everything goes fine until the encoding has to start again. If I select x264 the encoder starts and my CPU is 100% in use but nothing happends. Atleast after 2 hours the progresbar is just at the point where it started 2 hours before. If I pick xvid as encoder I get a unexpected error.
Any ideas? -
Maybe you just need to change the subtitle format. Some MKV files use subtitles in ASS format. This format is poorly supported by many playback devices. If this is the problem you'll need to demux the subs, use something like VobSub (the ReSynch program under VobSub) to convert from ASS to SRT, and then remux the new SRT subs into the MKV. Note that your Samsung TV may also possibly have problems with SUB/IDX subtitles too. SRT is the only subtitle format that is consistently well supported by a variety of playback devices.

Yes. Wait. Unless you have an 8 core PC x264 encoding for a 2 hour movie takes about 4 hours for one pass mode. If you are using the highest quality, it could take a long time. With Quick AVI Creator I use one pass for everything. One problem with the program is it doesn't really update the gui once the video is encoding. For xvid it shows some stats about half way through. But it produces good results once you get used to the foibles.

Can you tell how I can check wich subtile format is in my MKV file? And whats the best program to demux the MKV?
I let Quick AVI Creator run for a couple of hours and now the new MKV file is finished! BUT the quality is really lacking...Originally it's a full HD MKV file from a 2hour movie. Total size is 11.6GB and after the work with Quick AVI Creator it's only 1.6GB. I don't want to compress my file as I want to keep the original HD quality. -
Then you have to specify a higher bit rate instead of accepting the default. Use MediaInfo to see what the original bit rate is. Use something similar. Red Wine does hang on the forums, the autor of the program. You can ask him directly.

Glad it worked for you. Quick AVI Creator does have a few quirks, but is definitely something to keep in the toolbox. Plus just reading through the scripts I learned how to use xvid_encraw directly.
