Hardcode subtitles on movie

Subtitles are usually not hardcoded. For flexibility, subtitles are available either asname SRT files, or embedded in a video file.

Hardcoded subtitles are essentially when text is written over the snapshots that make up a video. You can't hide these subtitles (if you don't need them) and you certainly can't change the language or even the appearance of the font.

It's made of rare for subtitles be hardcode and are generally considered a problem, but there are times when they can also be useful. If you want to put hardcode subtitles on a video, you can do so with trusted and free VLC player program. The only thing you need to know is that subtitles, when they are hardcode, cannot be removed.

To put hardcode subtitles on a video, you need the following:
1. The video (!!).
2. Subtitles in SRT file format.
3. The latest version of VLC player is installed on your system.

Let's see what you need to do:
1. Create a new folder on your system. Move the video file and subtitle file to this folder. Make sure they both have the same name (extensions will be different).

2. Open VLC player and go to its bar menu in Media > Data Stream (or press Ctrl + S).

3. Click the Add button.

4. Navigate to your hard drive to reach the folder with the video and subtitles and select the video file to which you want to put the hardcode subtitles.

11. Click Next.

You can save the output file in MP4, WEBM, MKV and other formats. If you upload the video online, the subtitles will also appear in the online file.
