Embedded subs in MKV

Hello

I would like to ask about some help with a problem im having.
I cant find a way to Embedd / Hardcode subs in a mkv movie.

I have tried handbrake BUT then i have to Transcode the movie and i DONT want that.
I like the video to be be untouched.
Does anybody know a way to do this?

Thanks alot for any help.

Just use MKVToolnix and add your subtitle file along with the video and audio and mux it.

Ok but i cant find a way to enmbedd subs, there is an forced option but that wont "burn" the subs in the movie.
To clarify i DONT want to add a sub file i want to "burn" the forced subs so they allways show in any player.

Then you have contradictory requirements:

You can't hardsub a video without re-encoding it. You're asking for the impossible.

No problem, though mkv has pretty wide support so you probably don't need to hardsub.

I actually do since no media servers play forced subs, they eighter play the whole sub or nothing with MKV.

Use BDSup2Sup to extract ONLY the forced subs, then REMUX the Audio/Video with the extracted forced subs but convert them to default. You will end up with just one subtitle stream that is no longer forced, so the media server will just play that new subtitle as a full default subtitle stream. That is the only other thing you could try given the limitations you just mentioned. Either that or you will have to encode the video to achieve a hard subtitle into the video.
