Hardcode subtitles using Handbrake - Apple OSX

If you're a movie buff like me and watch a lot of non-english, foreign language movies, you must be coming across the headache to find english subtitles.

Although you can google and download the subtitles file ( .srt files ), it can be quite convenient to permanently hardcode the subtitles to the video. A very good app to do so is known as Handbrake

Although the main purpose of Handbrake is to transcode video into different formats, it is also useful to hardcode a .srt file to a video.

A sample screenshot is shown below :


As you see, you can simply choose a video by clicking Source. Then click the subtitles tab at bottom and click "Add External SRT" to choose the .srt file.

Once selected, just choose the Output format and click Start to encode. After it's done, you see a funny popup like this :)
