Hardsub MKV

[zirkov]

I have softsub mkv from my friend and I want to streaming it at megavideo.com. The problem is the sub wont show up, any idea make softsub mkv to hardsub one ?

Two options.

1.) Remux the MKV using MKVtoolnix. Make sure to select the subtitle stream as a default stream. This most likely won't work.

2.) Re-encode it. First demux the subtitles out with MKVtoolnix. Then put them back in the video (TextSub() in AviSynth will do it), and encode.

Remuxing won't work since even if the subtitle stream will be inside the mkv file (if it isn't already), it's still appart from the video.

The only option is to reencode, in the way you mentionned in 2). Using mencoder is also an option.

That's why I said it most likely wouldn't work. #1 will only work if MegaVideo plays embedded subs if they are default streams, and if it wasn't default to begin with.
