You're welcome. You can also use Handbrake as an alternative to VLC and you have more control of the video dimensions and quality. Here's how it works. th-cam.com/video/ZjX5v5Z4jQA/w-d-xo.html Thanks!
thank you so so much for this tutorial! i've downloaded a movie and wanted to watch it on the tv using usb and this video helped me a lot to add the subtitles :))
I went through 3 other tutorials (text articles) and nothing seemed to work. With this tutorial, on the first try, BOOM! It worked. Thank You! If only every other tutorial was this well explained, life would be such a wonderful place.
Thank you!! Finally it worked but I had to try several times, by choosing different options on the Convert - Settings tabs. Because first there was no audio on the video, then there was no image. In case someone else had the same problem, the right way to go is to have a tick on "Audio", in the Audio Codec tab (but not on "keep audio original track") and have a tick on "Video", in the Video Codec tab (but not on "keep the video original track").
Thank you. For me, it required me to check both audio and keep original audio track. I guess every video is different, but your comment led me to success so thank you!
Finally! I watched 5 videos before this one, and none of them worked. But yours works a treat! My subtitle file was SRT and your method works perfectly. Thank you for a succinct and well-presented solution to my problem! I have liked and subscribed!
You're welcome and thank you for your kind words. I'm so happy that you got the solution to your problem. You can also look at Handbrake. It does a good job as well. Here's a tutorial on how to permanently add Subtitles to a video or movie using Handbrake. th-cam.com/video/ZjX5v5Z4jQA/w-d-xo.html All the best. Thanks!
@@David_Mbugua If you still read these comments, I did what you said and subtitles appeared but the audio did not. Would you by any know what I may have done wrong? Thank you for your time.
Thank you, David. A helpful, clear, and detailed tutorial like always. You are very competent and insightful. Thank you for sharing your insights and knowledge with the community.
THANK YOU for this simple, straightforward and informative video. Spent 3 hours trying to upload a video on Canva with translated subtitles but got nowhere until I chanced upon your video. You are a lifesaver! 🙏
Thanks! That worked a treat! You might want to mention that you also need to select 'retain audio', otherwise you end up with a silent video. But, then, some people might want that, i guess.
@@emanjamal8695 I think he's refering to ''keep the original track'' on audio section. I saw other youtubers click that audio box too. If not you will end up getting silent video.
Thank you! I done it all under 5 minutes! I googled *How to let subtitle stick on laptop movie* and I got this video recommended. Google and TH-cam and you are a lifesaver! I almost exit during the converting part😅 Thank goodness I read the text on the tab. It's said *Converting File* and saw the number moving. Currently, 7 minutes out of 1hr.. :') now I've to wait
thank you so much! i've waited long for a spanish movie merging the subs thru this video and it worked! even on tv without internet connection! thank u so much.. keep working on this kind of stuffs, its very informative!!!
Success! 3 other sets of instructions (without a TH-cam video) that I tried to follow did not work because several important details were omitted. The only problem I had with these instructions is that I found that, for my purposes, I also had to edit the Profile on the Audio codec tab to specify "Keep original audio track." But your instructions were wonderfully clear and easy to follow. Thank you very much!
Thanks David for this simple lesson. I tried other methods that people put up on TH-cam. It didn't work. One even said I could the video and the.srt in one folder. It didn't work. I had to convert my .vtt file to .srt file and that didn't turn out well. Until I saw your channel and followed your instructions. I'm able to watch movies now with subtitles. I will give 5 Star 🤩.
I just found your video after longtime looking for someone to help me, and i think i started also loving you from your voice and face😂🤣 thanks for the video it helped me.
I tried very carefully,a few times, but every time after I press 'start' the progress bar moves VERY quickly, like it takes a few seconds to finish the 11 minutes video! Apparently, no subtitles are encoded over the video! What could be wrong? BTW, the subtitles SRT file works perfectly with VLC.
Thx for the nice video David. It doesn’t work for me and I’m hoping you could help. I have the newest version of VLC. There is no “Convert/Save”. There is “Convert/Stream”, but when I use it, it doesn’t give you an option of adding subtitles. Could you please tell me how I can get it to work. There is a tab on the top that I can add subtitles. But it just adds it while I’m viewing it in VLC. It will not let you permanently burn the subtitles into the mp4 file. What can I do in order to burn the subtitles into an mp4 file? Thank you in advance for any insight.
I suggest u to try once AIX Video Player as its the best subtilte video player with advaced features like HDR strenght adjustment , easy to use interface and many more
Hi, glad that it worked for you! I have the newest version of VLC. There is no “Convert/Save”. There is “Convert/Stream”, but when I use it, it doesn’t give you an option of adding subtitles. Could you please tell me how it worked for you. I tried many times but just cannot figure how it would work to burn the subtitles into a video. Thank you in advance for any insight.
Thanks man! I have used VLC to convert FLAC files to mp3, but didn't know about this. Now I can load in forced srt English subtitles (for different language scenes) into video. Cool. 👌
thanks a lot. you saved me... I tried many softwares and online methods to merge my video and srt file. but I had no luck with that. They didn't read my srt file and keep saying that it has errors. I felt soo tied after trying all of these things and I decided to give up. but luckily I saw your video. and when it works.. I felt so happy. thank you very much.
Worked for me. Trying to set up some of my DVDs so I can put them on a home media server. Was able to add the video in a VOB format as well as select the VOB subtitle file and embed it into the video. Thank you.

Thanks a lot! My problem is that it's only working when I open it with VLC player, otherwise there is no audio. Why is that?
I had the same problem. I found that the audio encoding was not what I had used previously. You can change it when you click on the little wrench. You will see four tabs. One of them is Audio codec. You can click in there and change it to what you need in the pulldown menu. I changed it to what the file had been previously, which was "MPEG 4 Audio (AAC)". I also changed the sample rate to 48000 Hz, which is what the original file had. Then everything worked for me. Good luck.
