How to embed srt files (sub titles files) into videos?

Hi Guys

Just a small question. I normally download movies from Internet and also corresponding srt file ( sub titles files ) and watch the Movie on VLC Player on my Laptop. That way, it plays sub titles along with the Movie.

Just wondering how do I embed this srt file into Movie so I can copy the Movie and play it in my DVD player or directly on my SMART TV via USB device.

If I simply copy both movie+srt file into a folder on USB, my DVD player or TV wont play sub titles. Hence, I had to use my VLC PLayer on Laptop.

Is there any way, I can get the sub titles also to play along with the Movie?

Pls ,, any suggestions here ?

    Make sure the srt file and the movie have the exact the same name. Otherwise the TV won't read.

      Mate, I tried this way. It wont work on my SMART TV.

    You can use Handbrake to burn the subs in.

      Thx rover.. I used Handbrake to burn the video+srt file and it plays well in VLC if I enable the sub title track. Will it also play with sub titles in my SMART TV directly the moment I connect it? ( I am away to test it anyway )

      Just wondering if I should be doing something else? Any settings?

    Random question, can you burn the subtitles to the top of the video? That way you could use VLC to display another set of subtitles, therefore being able to watch a movie with three different languages (audio + 2 subtitle files)

    Seems like a lot of work… Just get a media player - heaps easier. I have the Boxee from years ago and still works a treat - I don't even need to download the subtitles beforehand. When you watch something you can use the media player to download subtitles for you (even sync'd ones) - and there's generally an array of different languages and duplicates. Otherwise, get a HDMI cable streaming to TV (or stream it somehow).

      or, you could just buy the movies… :)

    a simple method is just to set up a desk top as your home theater center. and connect it to your smart TV. all your problem should be solved. :)

      Not a great IDEA as this involves investment to get a desktop and additional room space to set up the setup :-(
      I'm looking for simple solutions which doesn't involve investing

    Try the subtitle button on your remote.. it can do wonders sometimes =)Specially when you have followed the first comment on this thread.
