How Do I Hardcode English Subs on Movies?
Subtitles provide a useful function in allowing audiences from all over the world to watch and understand foreign movies. Movie viewers would be missing out on a large selection of quality movies if subtitles were not available. If you have a foreign movie you would like to watch, you may wish to add subtitles directly onto the movie to make it more convenient. Without hardcoded subtitles, you would need to open the movie file and the subtitle file every time you want to watch it. By hardcoding the subtitles, you combine these two files together into one.
