How to Attach External subtitles to your MKV Videos?

"I want to attach SRT file to an MKV video. I don't want only to use the SRT file, but to make it part of the video. In this way I can watch the MKV video with subtitles."

Subtitles stem from a transcript or screenplay of the dialog or commentary in movies, TV shows, video games, etc, with file extensions in .srt, .sub, and .sbv. Usually displayed at the bottom of the screen, subtitles help viewers, who have hearing problems or cannot understand the language, to follow the dialog. As a result, you'll need to add subtitles of your preference while appreciating a foreign movie, unless you know the language.

If you are having the issue and want to add subtitles to MKV movies or videos as aforesaid, find your answer here.

Preparations for Embedding subtitles to MKV:

First, find the subtitles online at Opensubtitles or Subscene (you have other options) by searching for the movie's name and the language you'd like. When you find suitable subtitles, make sure your MKV video and subtitles names are the same.

  1. I really like this Video Converter software. I had previously tried several programs which were dramatically inferior to your product. It has functioned well and has given me exactly what I was looking for.
