How to hardcode subtitles into a video?

I'm trying to hardcode these subtitles directly into a movie file. I attempted using a converter to turn them into a DVD-ready format and switched everything over to .srt files, but for some reason, it just isn't working.
Seriously, how do I actually burn these damn subtitles into the video? I’m stuck—anybody out there who can help me out?

Maybe try hard-coding those subtitles using an AviSub-style utility; it works perfectly fine on my end if you want to give it a shot.

No, I'm all set, thanks anyway. I figured it out using the convert feature in VLC Media Player

I really need some help here. I tried searching through the IT tutorials, but nothing they suggested actually worked for me. So, here’s the situation: I have this massive collection of movies stored on my NASA external hard drive. We recently picked up a new Samsung TV that has a USB port, and we've been playing all those movies directly from the NASA drive. Honestly, the excitement was huge because the picture quality is easily three times better than what I get on my laptop, but there's a catch—it won't play the subtitles. The thing is, the subtitles are embedded in the same file as the movie itself, but the TV just doesn't "recognize" them. It doesn't even give me an option to select them; it just plays the video alone. Does anyone have a tutorial for permanently burning subtitles into the video? Every time I search for a solution, I just get bombarded with suggestions for AviSub, VobSub, Subtitle Workshop, and a million other programs I've never heard of 😕😕 Basically, I need a way to make sure the subtitles show up automatically when I plug the hard drive into the TV, since they work perfectly fine on my computer without any extra steps. I am so incredibly determined to fix this because I have so many movies I haven't had the chance to watch on a tiny 14-inch laptop, and now that I can finally see them on the big screen... I just need those subtitles to work

Just grab the Codec Pack full version—it’s free, here’s the link:

Once you get that installed, everything should work fine since that pack covers all the bases with codecs.

Make sure the subtitle file is sitting in the exact same folder as the movie and has the identical filename (just copy/paste the movie title onto the subtitle file or vice versa)

If that still doesn't cut it, it's probably an overlay issue. Some players use different "layers" for the video and the subs—they look like one image on my screen, but they're separate, so things get glitchy when you plug in a second monitor... depends on which player you're running. I'd suggest using Windows Media Player, which comes with the Codec Pack. If even Windows Media Player fails you, you might have to mess around with your multi-monitor settings.

Honestly, this is way faster than trying to hardcode subtitles. Hardcoding means re-encoding the whole damn movie into a new format, which takes forever and kills the picture quality.

Basically, I have a massive collection of movies stored on an Apollo external hard drive. We recently picked up a new Samsung LCD with a USB port, and being able to watch everything through the Apollo has been amazing—the picture quality is easily three times better than what I was getting on my laptop. The only issue is that the subtitles won't show up. Even though they're embedded in the same file as the movie, the TV just doesn't recognize them. It doesn't even give me an option to select them; it just plays the video. I'm looking for a tutorial on how to permanently burn subtitles into the video files. Every program I look up suggests things like Avisub, VobSub, or Subtle Workshop, and I'm honestly lost... 😕😕 I need a way for the subtitles to play directly from my hard drive on the TV, similar to how they work on my computer where they're already part of the image and don't require extra steps... I'm so eager to get this sorted because I have so many movies I haven't had the chance to watch on a tiny 14-inch laptop, and now that I can see them on the big screen... I just need those subtitles...
