on OS X, I am using a free tool called MP4Tools (https://www.videohelp.com/software/MP4tools) which allows me to do:
subtitle
1. hard subtitle: subtitle is burned into the video. requires video reencoding. I can use handbrake (https://www.videohelp.com/software/HandBrake) for this function.
2. soft subtitle: subtitle is not burned. When playing the video on something like VLC (https://www.videohelp.com/software/VLC-media-player), the subtitle is selectable in the subtitle option.
video and audio:
1. passthrough: allows the audio to be copied as is without reencoding. only possible if audio is already in a supported format like AAC
2. reencode video into an MP4 compatible format using the bitrate selected
MP4Tools (https://www.videohelp.com/software/MP4tools) can also accept MKV files and output them into mp4 format. Like perhaps I want to convert MKV to MP4 without reencoding.
I'm hoping there is 1 tool in Windows that can do all these.
Thanks!
