How to hardcode subtitles with VLC media player

hey guys it's Eddie the Magic Monk. If you're watching this video you probably have some subtitles that you want to hard codes to your video and you've tried it a lot of times with VLC and it doesn't work which is my case so if you have the subtitles and the video under one same location in my case the desktop with the same name so they're both called push up one is .mp4 the other one is .srt then you can continue with the tutorial and also make sure you have VLC installed as well. So if you double click on the video you should open up the video with the subtitles, right, and the subtitles are working but the problem is they're not hard-coded so if you right-click and you disable the subtitles then it's gone there's no subtitles so to make sure that the subtitles are hard-coded what you're going to do is don't open up the file just double click on VLC ok now this is the only way that it's going to work I know I've tried everything else nothing else works so go to media go to stream and then now is where you add the file ok you're going to add the push up dot mp4 now don't worry about use a subtitle file here because if you click this and something else will go wrong ok now you're going to click stream stream ok and then you're going to click Next because the source file is already there click Next new destination is file click Add and just type in the path of your new video or just browse so push up but this time I'm going to call it english sub push up ok save so it'll be saved to my desktop next activate transcoding that has to be ticked click edit selected profile and then go to subtitles and now is where you highlight subtitles codec teat 140 overlay subtitles safe alright and then click Next and here is an important thing s codec equals T 140 you have to delete that ok just delete it so once you delete that and then you're going to click stream and now it looks like it's playing the video but it's actually not ok it's actually not sorry it looks like it's playing the video but the video is not showing on the screen but it is actually creating the file for you so if you can see your desktop there is now an English sub pushup.mp4 that's being created so now you just have to wait until this is done and once it's done the icon on your desktop should change from this whatever you call this obstacle thing or hat or whatever it is to to the actual video thumbnail so just wait for that to happen. So I've been waiting for a while and you can see that the progress thing has finished but the icon is still this icon which is a bit annoying but anyway so now I'm going to close this down alright and you can see that it's turned into a thumbnail so yep you do have to close it down first and then it turns into a thumbnail okay now I'm going to show you a bit of magic so I'm going to get rid of these two files ok so I'm just going to move them somewhere else I won't put them in this folder so get rid of them so let's create another folder here actually just move these two files in there so now what I'm going to do is I'm going to double click on this and subtitles will still show up right so double click and you can see that there are subtitles ok there are subtitles working correctly and if you right-click it doesn't even know that there are subtitles ok so this is now hard-coded with VLC ok thanks for watching guys see you next time.
