a.k.a. Subtitles showing up multiple times after hardcoding in VLC fix.
If you're watching this you've probably tried burning subtitles to your video and encountered multiple errors - either subtitles not showing or displaying multiple times.
I've tried just about everything to come up with this solution. Check it out :) - Наука та технологія
On the current VLC version, you don't have to do that last step where you delete part of the string, the new version has optimized this and it works wonders!! Thanks so much for such a clarifying video!
Still doesn't work. What do I do?
@@danielantony1882 scodec tl-140 rename as scodec=non, it works,
@@tnameer Nice.
i'm screaming bcs my video i'm trying to hardsub is friggin 3 hours.

@@abalkhi6540 If I do that the subtitles don't stay on the file...
can help me to harcore subtitles?
took 1 minute for 3:49 long vid.
Worked perfectly, thank you very much. Doing this for my sister for her Christmas present (Christmas Eve right now). So I'm glad it's so incredibly easy to do with VLC! Thanks bro.
yup, from (2018) and it's chrismas here to preparing a video also.
LMAO! he called it a hat I'm dead.
lurker HAHAHAHA
Same reaction xD
Same here :D

They look like witch/wizard hats but their not, they are road cones 😂
Sir, thank you so much for this video and all your help! You have no idea how long I've been struggling to hardcode my subtitles, since my Samsung TV won't properly read subtitles I've edited using programs like Subtitle Edit. This worked like an absolute charm and you have just made my movie watching a heck of a lot easier! You've earned a new subscriber!
Thank you so much! I always come back to this video every time I need to work with subs for school projects.
thanks!! I come back to it too lol.
+Magic Monk - The icon that VLC uses is a "traffic cone". You've probably seen them in the streets near construction sites or in No Parking zones. :)
In Aus we call them Witches hats
NAH DUDE.. its a HAT! :'D
It’s a candy corn on top of a miniature slice of American cheese
Or while eating a softy, he must have seen himself eating an upside-down hat.
So counterintuitive that I watched this video nearly a dozen times, but it works flawlessly. Huge thank you!
Happy to come across your tutorial after hours of hectic search... works perfectly. Great work, thanks a lot!
Thanks! Works like a charm every time. I keep coming back to your video.
I'm sure it works well enough for short videos, but from my experience with this method, while it does add the subtitles, it desyncs the audio to an insane degree. The desync starts off as bearable, then gets progressively worse. By the end of a two hour video the audio for a gunshot, for example, comes multiple seconds before the trigger is ever pulled.
Edit: Selecting to keep the original audio while editing the profile the doesn't fix the problem, but it does make it slightly better.
Streaming it at all seems to be what desyncs the audio. In other words, it is the process itself that keeps causing problems.
After further reading I have discovered that this problem may only apply to mp4 files.
Thanks for this video. I have been unsuccessful in hardcoding in VLC with sound until this video and comments below. Excellent job! Excellent presentation.
after browsing through so many channels. Yours is by far the best. The explaining thod is so great and detailed even complex stuff is
This is a superb tutorial thank you! Maybe they've upgraded VLC somehow since you made this but I found that the scodec=t140 had already been removed by the time I got to that page. I continued without touching that code and the conversion worked beautifully. thanks again!
me too
tried several times and the i leave it as (scodec=non), final it works. thank you bro.
You're a world champion. I've been struggling with this for hours... THANK YOU!
This man has never seen and recognized a construction cone in his lengthy and experiential life.
They're called witches hats in Aus
Its a long wait for a movie streaming but anyhow thanks for the good work!
Thank you! I've been trying all afternoon! It finally worked :)
Been looking for this everywhere this is the only tutorial that works thank you so much!
Thank you so much ! I've been trying for so long, I can't believe it finally worked
Just did it for Parasite. Subtitles weren't showing up on my Roku. This did the job, thumbs up. Thanks
LMAO im tryna do it for Parasite too
For those who get muted audio just check the box under profile > keep original audio
that should do the trick
I love you
THANK YOU!!!
Thank you!
where's the profile? I cant find it
@@anissakinah2113 at step 2:21, click on Audio codec
Great video thank you! This is way more complicated than it needs to be would have been lost without this video.
THANK YOU! THANK YOU! I've been trying to do this with other softwares and they don't work! I'm sooo happy I found your tutorial, a real jewel! Wish you the best always! :-))
You are a life saver, thank you so much!
no problem
YEW
This has to be the quickest and easiest solution i've found ~ Thank you!
I love these guys that do tutorials that don't work
and don't respond to the critiques that youtubers leave.
What an incredibly convoluted and inconvenient way to hardcode subtitles! It's like filming your screen to get a clip from a longer video. Or printing out some text and a picture, cutting and pasting them together and scanning it back in order to put graphics in your document. (Ok, maybe not _that_ bad, but it's similar)
If you have to burn in subtitles for a video of an hour, are you just going to wait 60 minutes for the "recording" to finish? What if for whatever reason the video stutters for a moment and that is captured too?
There's easy to use, *free*, dedicated software for this, you know? Just download Handbrake or VidCoder (basically Handbrake in an even more user friendly shell). In the latter all you need to do is:
1. Select your video file
2. Select your .srt subtitle file
3. Press the encode button
4. Done
It's easier, _significantly_ faster and more reliable and just... the proper way to do this.
Thank you so much. Wanted to burn subs in a movie. Didn't work the way it was shown in the video. Tried with Handbrake and worked very neatly!
Thanks for this video. It worked for me on Linux. I just noticed that I must close the VLC session for the video to run. Grateful for your tutorial!!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! I have tested so many apps and now I can do it just with VLC. Love U!
"or a hat" :)))
Cheers mate, this video helped me, much appreciated!
You are a star! Thank you, this solved a problem that I've been struggling with for days! :D
Thank you so much! The other tutorials didn't work. Yours did.
Finally...someone who figured out how to do it right! Nice job, and thank you!
This one works. I've just tried it. It even picks up custom font color for subtitles. Thank you for great tutorial.
EXCELLENT!!! After sveral hours of desparate trials finaly VLC did it!
THANKS!
I've been wanting to do this for awhile now. It worked first time... Your a real champ, you know that!!!!
You've done a great job! thank you for sharing this knowledge with us!
So I did exactly what you said, and it worked EXACTLY like it did here, like wow, an actual helpful and simpe hardcoding video!
I was trying to do it for an hour until I found your video. Works perfectly. Thank you.
it works with the updated vlc?
Thank you for reminding me I had to check for updates @@palacebandit haha. I had the 2.2.6 version. I don't know if it works with the update, sorry.
I managed to mush the audio on it a bit... But at least the subtitles are there without the separate .srt file! Which is just awesome, after an hour of looking for a working solution! Thanks, mate!
Oh my god, thank you SO MUCH! I got some weird problem with megui and was desperate. Your tutorial just saved me ^_^
You are reallly a life saver. I don't know how you figured this out , but it really really works fine!!
Hey There! Great tutorial, thank you! One question though, how could get the subtitles with a black background and not just the white text? Thank you!
It actually works!! so glad I found your video
+nindy21 cheers. glad to hear it. You have no idea how many times I tried :)
I'm currently doing it on Schindler's List, but it's 3h15, so we'll see if it works
That's brilliant! Better than premiere and camstudio. As usual VLC rules! Thank you for sharing your experience with us.
Wow. This was so easy yet so complicated if I didn't have this video. Thanks!
This works wonderfully, thank you very much! You´re a true savior!!!
Thank you so muccchhhh!!! YOU ARE AWESOME!!! Needed to submit my video with subs in about 15 minutes. You're a life saver~ :)
You are amazing for doing such a great service, sir!
Very nice job and beautiful work!!! Thank you, Eddie!
Brilliant. Worked as of Feb 2019.
You're an absolute god, dude. You've saved me several hundred quid with this one video!
It worked,I created an SRT file and then hard coded subtitles to the desired video through VLC player
Thanks a lot
Thanks man, finally a video that doesn't advertise any additional software.
Your method does work. Thank you for that.
But I'm trying to subtitle a .mp4 file that's around 3gb and my final subtitled file is only 891mb..and of significantly lesser video quality than the source file..
any suggestions..?
Thanks for the explanation. I tried many times but finally successful thanks to you. :)
Ok. this takes a long time but.. IT WOORKS!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Finally worked! 😭
At first It didnt work just following the steps of the video.
The changes I did was that:
-At 1:32 I did add the subtitle file
-At 2:37 Not only have I deleted that "scodec=t140" line, but I have also ADDED everything else before that line, from "vcodec=h264...." to "...samplerate=44100"
And after doing that, it took more time to create the new video, but it finally worked.
Hope this helps someone else!
It actually works! Thank you so much. Although I tried a couple of times cause it didn't work at first, but it's all because of the files have slightly different names (my bad). I have subbed two movies already (it was a long wait but worth it).
THANK YOU SO MUCH....I spent the day looking for 100000000000000000000 solutions!
Thanks for the video tutorial.. I'll try it..
one quick question: why does the output file size is shown as 0 bytes when you hover your mouse cursor (@4:26)?
You're a life saver!!! It was driving me mad. Thanbk a lot!
It woooooorks.. thank you so much.. I've been searching all over google, but nothing works.. then this tutorial pop up.. and it wooooorks..
This is really helping.. Thank you 🙏🙏
Dude you are my savior, thanks a lot !
I have to thank you for this video! I was going craxy since I have a Zorin 12 OS. I created an ASS subtitle file with Aegisub, then I embedded with HANDBRAKE which softsubs, then I used your method. It workef with ASS files also.
THANKS GOD!!! FINALLY IT WORKED!!! I tried a zillion tutorials, a billion websites and a ton of videos annnnnnnnnnd finally found your video and did it! Thank you so much! Subscribed right away!
Thanks a lot. Very well (and laconically) explained. It worked !!!
WORKED!! Glad I thought outside the "ADOBE" box!
It worked like a charm. I laughed at the " hat - obstacle thing ". Very funny!
Worked like a charm. Many thanks Bro! saved me a lot of time.
Me too, you saved my day yesterday!!!
Hahahaha, I love your comments on "don't touch that, you will just mess sth else up" :D:D
Will check out your other tutorials!
Thank youuuuuuuuuuu!!! :)...
OH My God!!!! Finally! Best way to make hardsub!!! So fast and easy! Thank You Very Much!
you're welcome.
The final video is the subtitle without the sound, how to do？
I did this recently and found the convert/save option worked best for me.
It's important to check the convert profile settings (spanner icon), subtitles, and select overlay subtitles on video option.
do a tutorial please
This method works a treat for me! I tried using ffmpeg, but the output file did not contain the subtitles... 😞and that's a shame because using the command line is *much* faster. Cheers, m8!
I wasted hours on doing it. Coudn't be more easier than this. Thank you so much !
Magic Monk...You are, in fact, magic. Thank you very much for this, sir.
works!!!! COOL TIP FOR WATERMARKING: this method works to hardcode ANYTHING in the subtitles/OSD menu. you can change the sutbtitle font, outline, size, opacity ETC. also there are filters such as the LOGO option which allows you to use a PNG file, position it, set opacity and more.
note that you have to check the "logo filter" under the "filters" tab in the video encoding page
Thanks for this! Trying to make it work was driving me nuts!!
Hey Monk,
Your video is super helpful. I'm running into issues with the audio after streaming. Video playback is good, subtitles are good. The audio is this awful static that I can't seem to get away from. I'm curious if you have any tips for getting the audio from the original video through unscathed. I've tried changing the audio codecs and sample rates and stuff and nothing seems to work.
Well, I used Handbrake instead of VLC and it worked flawlessly. I tried VLC so many times and even after doing the same thing twice I'd get different results. Handbrake let me pick the subtitles right out of the source video and burn them onto the output video. No idea why I didn't try it earlier. Video, audio and subtitles all work. :)
Tried this solution inside Ubuntu 18.04 with VLC installed and it worked!
Thank You ...
You know what your video made my day , thanks a lot :)
It works just fine. Thank you! It is life saving :)
You nailed it, man! Absolutely worked for me. (:
Brilliant. Many thanks. Instructions are clear and it works!!
Eddie, great tutorial but my subtitles are out of sync. I can correct for it while playing but can I adjust the offset before transcoding?
Thank you for this, you made me so happyyy!!!! It works!!
solid effort mate. works a treat.
Follow exactly what he did in the video. Worked for me!! Thanks!
Finally something that worked. Thanks!
My issue is a little different. I have a video that has soft subs (they can be turned on and off) but there's no separate .srt file. It's just part of the file itself. But I need to change the audio codec on the video so that my PS4 recognizes it. But whenever I do this, the subtitles are completely removed (it's an episode of Super Dragon Ball Heroes, which is in Japanese so I need the English subs for it). Is there any way to hardcode these subs without a separate .srt file?
It works! Thank you very much for this tutorial.
thanks a lot buddy. I really needed this tutorial...oh my god ! I'm crying...
great it works! Never had any problems except for some synchro, but that's another story.
Nice work. Well explained. Great tutorial.
THANKS DUDE!! You really helped me out!
God damn good - you must be from down under. Lots of love and respect from a viking up in the cold north. Keep working that Magic Monk ^^
This really helpss thankyou so much! But hey one question, is it safe if I delete the old videos?
Your tutorial worked like a charm! 👍👍
