How to Add/Remove subtitles in an MKV file?

I have a good quality MKV file that has several subtitle options. I want to add an additional subtitle file to the list.

Some search online led me to use video converters, and basically re-encode the movie into a new file. That seems really overkill to me. Plus I may loose the previous subtitles, and some image quality along the way.

I'm on OSX.

I have ripped my Kill Bill DVD's but the Japanese parts aren't subtitled in English... I found some subtitles online but the only ones which seem to work are the ones for the entire movie. I want to edit the srt file so that the only parts left are the ones where they actually speak Japanese.

Subtitles in VLC are displayed as question marks

I can't reproduce what made it happen, but since yesterday, for all the movies I play with VLC - their subtitles (Hebrew) are displayed as question marks.

Any resolution? Way to find the source of the issue?

Here is an excerpt from the subtitles file (*.srt):

1
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:06,700
...מר דופריין, תאר את

2
00:02:07,700 --> 00:02:11,100
. העימות שהיה לך עם אישתך בלילה שנרצחה

3
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:17,400
.זה היה מאוד מריר

4
00:02:18,700 --> 00:02:22,000
,היא אמרה שהיא שמחה שידעתי
.שהיא שנאה את כל ההתגנבויות מסביב

How to embed/hardcode SRT subtitles into mp4 videos with VLC?

I'm looking for a way to "burn in" or render/rembed/hardcode subtitles (from an SRT file) into an MP4 video with VLC.

But no matter what options I use, it never works properly. I get a file that plays video way too fast (audio is normal), or one that plays normally, but actually does not have embedded subtitles. Also, with some options (like the one below) it does not play in QuickTime, only in VLC.

So the main question is: how can I make this work in VLC? Secondary questions are:

• How do I decide which options I should set?
• Which settings are best if I want to leave the file bitrate etc. the same as much as possible, only embed subtitles? It seems I cannot leave the field empty or Video/Audio unchecked, so I guess I would first need to figure out the original audio and video bitrate.
• What do the "Scale" and "Channels" options mean?

... none of which are answered within the VLC documentation.

For example, this is one set of options I used in the "Advanced Open File…" dialog:

Advanced Open File…

   myFileName.mp4
    [ ] Treat as a pipe rather than as a file

[x] Load subtitles file:
      mySubtitleFileName.srt

[ ] Play another media synchronously


[x] Streaming/Saving

         Streaming and Transcoding Options

           [ ] Display the stream locally
           (o) File      [outputFileName.mp4                      ]
                         [ ] Dump raw input

           Encapsulation Method: (MPEG 4      )


         Transcoding options

           [x] Video   (mp4v       )          Bitrate (kb/s) [256   ]
                                                       Scale [1     ]
           [x] Audio   (mp3        )          Bitrate (kb/s) [128   ]
                                                    Channels [1     ]

Is there any software that can play a subtitle file without a video file? [closed]

My friend likes to stream movies through Netflix on her 360, and the problem with this is that Netflix does not usually provide subtitles or captioning on anything but foreign films. A few select videos on their website are captioned, but Xbox users are out of luck. Me being hard-of-hearing, I can't watch the movie.

Now, I can sit at an angle where I see both my laptop and the TV. I also know that many movies have subtitles uploaded (probably illegally, but I place full blame on Netflix for alienating the deaf community).

Using these two facts, I had an idea for a program that would display subtitles on my screen as the movie plays. I can't find anything that will just play subtitles alone (preferably in huge text so I can see it clearly while watching TV).

Does such a program exist?
