Why Merging Subtitles with MP4 movies?

Many movies you download now are in MP4 format. This file format supports subtitles which make it be more popular in saving movie files. But not all MP4 videos have subtitles of course. Moreover, there are devices like PlayStation 3 (PS3), Xbox 360, some TVs and DVD-players that don't support the external .srt, ass or ssa subtitle format. When you add subs to your movies, they don't show up while playing the movies on these devices. The only way to fix this is to merge subtitles with the MP4 movies (also called hardcoding). When you hardcode subs, the subs will permanently be burned into the video file. The two files will become one file. This tutorial shows you how to add subtitles to MP4 videos with several simple steps. Just check this page to learn more.
